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
In this study, the influence of the incorporation of eucalyptus (EO), tea tree (TT) and rosemary (RO) essential oils and Chiriyuyo extract (CE) on the structure and properties of thermoplastic starch (TPS) obtained from potato starch, glycerin and water was evaluated. All oils and the extract were used at a concentration of 0.5 g/100 g of TPS, while for TT, the effect of the concentration was also studied. The mixtures obtained were processed by extrusion and thermocompression molding. The sheets were characterized by XRD, FTIR, TGA, SEM and analyses of their mechanical properties, antimicrobial characteristics and biodegradability. The results show that the use of small concentrations of the oils in 70TPS does not induce changes in the TPS structure according to the results of XRD, FTIR and TGA, with each essential oil and CE affecting the mechanical properties unevenly, although in all cases, antimicrobial activity was obtained, and the biodegradability of TPS in soil was not modified. An increase in the concentration of TT in 60TPS causes marked changes in the crystallinity of TPS, providing a greater modulus with a higher concentration of TT. Regardless of the amount of TT, all sheets maintain antimicrobial characteristics, and their biodegradation in soil is delayed with a higher oil content.
