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
Phytic acid (Myoinositol 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 hexakisphosphate) is a ubiquitous compound present in plants. It is an important constituent in seed reducing the bioavailability of phosphorous and mineral nutrients when fed to monogastric animals like swine, poultry, fish etc. Hence, identification of maize germplasm with reduced phytic acid content is imperative to formulate the breeding programs to evolve low phytate lines. Towards this, three hundred and thirty-eight maize germplasm accessions available at Department of Millets, TNAU, were raised and screened for phytic acid content which varied from 2.77 to 16.70 mg/g of seed. Based on the variability present, a reference set with fifty-eight genotypes for phytic acid was formulated. The reference set was formed with random genotypes selected from the base population to follow a normal distribution (skewness; 0.17, kurtosis; 0.61 and K-S test for normality D
