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
A cotton germplasm collection with data for 20 quantitative traits was used to investigate the effect of the scale of quantitative trait data on the representativeness of plant sub-core collections. The relationship between the representativeness of a sub-core collection and two influencing factors, the number of traits and the sampling percentage, was studied. A mixed linear model approach was used to eliminate environmental errors and predict genotypic values of accessions. Sub-core collections were constructed using a least distance stepwise sampling (LDSS) method combining standardized Euclidean distance and an unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA) cluster method. The mean difference percentage (MD), variance difference percentage (VD), coincidence rate of range (CR), and variable rate of coefficient of variation (VR) served as evaluation parameters. Monte Carlo simulation was conducted to study the relationship among the number of traits, the sampling percentage, and the four evaluation parameters. The results showed that the representativeness of a sub-core collection was affected greatly by the number of traits and the sampling percentage, and that these two influencing factors were closely connected. Increasing the number of traits improved the representativeness of a sub-core collection when the data of genotypic values were used. The change in the genetic diversity of sub-core collections with different sampling percentages showed a linear tendency when the number of traits was small, and a logarithmic tendency when the number of traits was large. However, the change in the genetic diversity of sub-core collections with different numbers of traits always showed a strong logarithmic tendency when the sampling percentage was changing. A CR threshold method based on Monte Carlo simulation is proposed to determine the rational number of traits for a relevant sampling percentage of a sub-core collection.
