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
Exported durians from Thailand are sometimes immersed in curcumin to give the fruits a good appearance. Curcumin is regarded as non-toxic additive, however some importing countries prohibited use of any additive to fresh fruits and vegetables. This work aims to develop a rapid, low cost and convenient cotton swab device for curcumin detection. The detection principle involves a colorimetric acid-base characteristic of curcumin. Curcumin in an acidic/neutral solution presents a bright yellow color, while it displays an intense orange-red color in basic solution. A cotton swab acted for both sample collection and as a sensing platform. A pre-moistened swab was used to wipe a durian surface. Afterward, a NaOH solution was dropped onto the swab. A distinct orange-red color appearing on the swab indicates the presence of curcumin. The cotton swab was applied for qualitative analysis of curcumin contaminated on durian husks via visual detection. The developed device provided good reliability, 93.75% (36 samples). Furthermore, the device was demonstrated for quantitative determination using camera detection. Two linear calibrations were obtained in ranges of 10-75 and 75-250 mg L
