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
Branchial mitochondria-rich (MR) cells were examined on the afferent side of gill filaments in tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) acclimated to different hypotonic environments, local fresh water (LFW), hard fresh water (HFW) and 5‰ salt water (SW). Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) identified three types of apical surfaces of the MR cells, wavy convex, shallow basin and deep hole. In spite of the different types of apical surfaces, light microscopic (LM) and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) studies suggested that these cells were MR cells. The relative abundance of these 3 types of branchial MR cells varied with external hypotonic milieus. Wavy-convexed MR cells were dominant in the gills of fish adapted to HFW, whereas shallow-basined MR cells were evident in LFW-adapted fish. In SW-adapted fish, most of the MR cells were deep holes. Experiments on adaptation to various hypotonic milieus revealed that the changes of the branchial MR cells were reversible and occurred within 24 hours following transfer. The morphological alterations of the MR cells correlated with ionic changes in different milieus, indicating that these distinct types of MR cells may play key roles for osmoregulation in hypotonic media.
