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
The large black chafer Holotrichia parallela exhibits ~ 48-h circa'bi'dian rhythm. Although circabidian rhythm is suggested to involve the circadian clock, no physiological studies have been conducted to verify this involvement. We examined the effects of optic lobe or pars intercerebralis removal on the circabidian rhythm. After removing both optic lobes, all beetles lost their circabidian rhythms (N = 25), but all beetles exhibited circabidian rhythm after removing unilateral optic lobe (N = 18). However, 22% of the latter group exhibited day switching. After removal of the pars intercerebralis, 26.3% beetles showed arrhythmic patterns (N = 19). The number of paraldehyde fuchsin-stained pars intercerebralis cells in the arrhythmic group was significantly reduced compared to in the intact and sham-operated groups. The activity in the pars intercerebralis-removed beetles was significantly higher than that in the control groups. The results show that the optic lobe and at least part of the pars intercerebralis are necessary for circabidian rhythm, and bilateral optic lobes are necessary to maintain regularity of the two-day rhythm in H. parallela. This suggests that a neural circuit of circadian clock cells in the optic lobe to pars lateralis might be evolutionally conserved and used also for the generation of circabidian rhythm.
