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
Colloidal crystals and glasses have been designed to develop structural colors that are tunable, iridescent, nonfading, and nontoxic. However, the low printability and poor printing quality have restricted their uses. Here, we report the direct writing of structural-color graphics with high brightness and saturation using colloidal inks. The inks are prepared by dispersing silica particles in acrylate-based resins, where the volume fraction is optimized to simultaneously provide pronounced coloration and satisfactory printing rheology. With the inks, any macroscopic design of lines and faces can be directly written on various substrates, where the microscopic colloidal arrangement is set to be either crystalline or amorphous depending on the resin viscosity to control the iridescence of the colors. In addition, the high mechanical stability and controlled modulus enable the graphics to be surface-transferred, origami-folded, or elastically stretched. This direct-writing approach provides unprecedented levels of controllability and versatility for pragmatic uses of structural colors.
