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
Xylosandrus spp. ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) are important wood-boring pests of nursery trees weakened by abiotic and biotic stressors. Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM), a plant defense elicitor, was tested for inhibiting Xylosandrus spp. tunneling (i.e., attacks) into flood-stressed flowering dogwoods (Cornus florida L. (Cornales: Cornaceae)). Container-grown dogwoods were treated with ASM substrate drench + flooding, ASM foliar spray + flooding, ASM drench + no flooding, ASM foliar + no flooding, no ASM + flooding, or no ASM + no flooding at 3 days before flood stress in a completely randomized design under field conditions. Trees were flooded for 14 days and then drained and watered as needed. Attacks were counted every 2 days for 28 days. Plant tissue samples were collected at 7 and 14 days after flooding to determine ethanol content using solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Trees were dissected to determine gallery formation and depth, fungal colonization, and the presence of eggs, larvae, and adults. The highest number of Xylosandrus beetle species attacks were recorded from plants exposed to no ASM + flooding, but attacks were reduced in ASM treated trees (drench or foliar) + flooding. Trees treated with drenches had fewer attacks than foliar sprays. Plants assigned to no flood had the fewest beetle attacks. Moreover, ASM reduced Xylosandrus spp. gallery formation and depth, fungal colonization, and presence of eggs, larvae, and adults. All flooded trees produced ethanol. In conclusion, ASM induced a plant defense response to Xylosandrus spp. tunneling in dogwoods under flood stress conditions.
