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 aim of this paper is to improve trend analysis for non-stationary Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series (TS) over different areas in Tunisia based on the wavelet transform (WT) multi-resolution analysis (MRA-WT), statistical test, and meteorological data. The MRA-WT was applied in order to decompose the TS into different components. However, the most challenge for TS analysis using MRA-WT laid in the selection of two optimum parameters: the level of decomposition and mother wavelet (MW). In this work, both factors were investigated. Firstly, the level of decomposition was calculated for 18 different MWs, and secondly the energy to Shannon entropy ratio criterion was investigated to choose the most suitable MW. The Mann-Kendall test (MK) and Sen's slope were applied to the last approximation component in order to analyze long-term vegetation changes. Finally, the influence of meteorological data for trend was analyzed. The results were first computed for different sites in Tunisia using MODIS NDVI TS from 2001 to 2017. The obtained results proved the importance of MW selection. Level 5 was considered for the TS as the best level of decomposition for long-term vegetation changes. The Daubechies and Symlets MWs (db9 and sym4) showed the highest energy to entropy ratio for three selected vegetation canopies. A combination of the two MW was proposed to derive a trend vegetation analysis at image level. A degradation in the forest area and a few increases in cropland and vegetation area were presented.
