What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The study of phenotypic and genetic diversity in landrace collections is important for germplasm conservation. In addition, the characterisation of very diversified materials with molecular markers offers a unique opportunity to define significant marker-trait associations of biological and agronomic interest. Here, 50 tomato landraces (mainly collected in central Italy), nine vintage and modern cultivars, and two wild outgroups were grown at two locations in central Italy and characterised for 15 morpho-physiological traits and 29 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci. The markers were selected to include a group of loci in regions harbouring reported quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that affect fruit size and/or shape (Q-SSRs) and a group of markers that have not been mapped or shown to have a priori known linkage (NQ-SSRs). As revealed by univariate and multivariate analyses of morphological data, the landraces grouped according to vegetative and reproductive traits, with emphasis on fruit size, shape and final destination of the product. Compared to the low molecular polymorphism reported in tomato modern cultivars, our data reveal a high level of molecular diversity in landraces. Such diversity has allowed the inference of the existence of a genetic structure that was factored into the association analysis. As the proportion of significant associations is higher between the Q-SSR subset of markers and the subset of traits related to fruit size and shape than for all of the other combinations, we conclude that this approach is valid for establishing true-positive marker-trait relationships in tomato.
