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
Plant biological yield appears to be comparatively low in calcium deficient soils of Aligarh, Western Uttar Pradesh, India. Here, Ca deficiency poses a serious yield and quality limitation for several crops, including various medicinal legumes in this region of India. Cassia sophera L. is an important medicinal herb of great therapeutic value and is used in the modern as well as traditional systems of medicine. In view of the medicinal importance of Cassia sophera L., a hypothesis was designed to determine whether calcium application through soil could enhance the photosynthetic efficiency, enzymatic activities, nitrogen assimilation, yield and quality attributes. The plants were grown in pots containing soil supplied with five levels of calcium, viz. 0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 mg Ca kg(-1) soil (Ca0, Ca1, Ca2, Ca3 and Ca4, respectively) applied as calcium chloride (CaCl2). The performance of the crop was assessed in terms of various growth, physiological, biochemical, yield and quality attributes at 120, 150, 180 and 210 days after sowing. Calcium application proved significantly effective on most of the attributes studied. Of the five calcium levels, Ca3 showed the best results that significantly stimulated most of the attributes studied at the three growth stages.
