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
Epicuticular wax (bloom) plays important roles in protecting the tissues of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) plants from abiotic stresses. However, reducing wax content provides resistance to greenbug and sheath blight-a useful trait in agricultural crops. We generated a sorghum bloomless (bm) mutant by gamma irradiation. One bm population segregated for individuals with and without epicuticular wax at a frequency of 72:22, suggesting that the bm mutation was under the control of a single recessive nuclear gene. Genes differentially expressed in the wild-type and the bm mutant were identified by RNA-seq technology. Of the 31 downregulated genes, Sb06g023280 was the most differentially expressed and was similar to WBC11, which encodes an ABC transporter responsible for wax secretion in Arabidopsis. An inversion of about 1.4 Mb was present in the region upstream of the Sb06g023280 gene in the bm mutant; it is likely that this inversion changed the promoter sequence of the Sb06g023280 gene. Using genomic PCR, we confirmed that six independent F2 bm mutant-phenotype plants carried the same inversion. Therefore, we concluded that the inversion involving the Sb06g023280 gene inhibited wax secretion in the bloomless sorghum.
