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
Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) pool is an essential unit of a nuclear power plant infrastructure, where radioactive fuel rods are kept for cooling and shielding, before reprocessing. This study explored the presence of bacteria in SNF pool water with emphasis on their capability to form biofilms on pool wall cladding material stainless steel (SS-304L). Bacteria were isolated from SNF pool water and were characterized using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The six bacterial isolates (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus sps., S. arlettae, S. epidermidis, S. auricularis and Chryseobacterium gleum) can grow and form biofilms at very low nutrient condition as well as in chronic radioactivity. The bacterial isolates formed biofilm on SS-304L and glass. However, the biofilm parameters assessed by CLSM microscopy showed that the strains preferred SS-304L surface for biofilm formation. On SS-304L, the maximum biomass (0.45 l μm
