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 present study was conducted to investigate the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity induced by abamectin pesticide in Allium cepa L. bulbs. Following 72-h exposure to different doses (0.025 ml/L, 0.050 ml/L, and 0.100 ml/L) of abamectin, growth level, micronuclei abundance, mitotic index, chromosomal aberrations, malondialdehyde content, meristematic cell damages, and total activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase were explored. The results revealed that all concentrations of abamectin were capable of inducing significant and dose-dependent changes in all parameters. Increasing doses of abamectin caused remarkable decreases in germination ratio, weight gain, and root elongation. Due to abamectin-induced genotoxicity, the mitotic index declined, while chromosomal abnormalities listed as micronucleus, fragment, sticky chromosome, unequal distribution of chromatin, bridge, vacuole nucleus, nucleus damage, and multipolar anaphase. Depending on the oxidative stress caused by abamectin administration, the total activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase enzymes increased significantly along with the malondialdehyde content. Indistinct transmission tissue, epidermis cell deformation and flattened cell nucleus were the meristematic cell damages in pesticide-applied groups. Findings of the present study revealed that abamectin is a risky pesticide with a variety of cytotoxic and genotoxic effects in non-targeted organisms. A. cepa is a promising material for biomonitoring the toxicity of abamectin.
