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
Magnetic fields in protoplanetary disks are thought to play a prominent role in the formation of planetary bodies. Acting upon turbulence and angular momentum transport, they may influence the motion of solids and accretion onto the central star. By searching for the record of the solar nebula field preserved in meteorites, we aim to characterize the strength of a disk field with a spatial and temporal resolution far superior to observations of extrasolar disks. Here, we present a rock magnetic and paleomagnetic study of the andesite meteorite Erg Chech 002 (EC002). This meteorite contains submicron iron grains, expected to be very reliable magnetic recorders, and carries a stable, high-coercivity magnetization. After ruling out potential sources of magnetic contamination, we show that EC002 most likely carries an ancient thermoremanent magnetization acquired upon cooling on its parent body. Using the U-corrected Pb-Pb age of the meteorite's pyroxene as a proxy for the timing of magnetization acquisition, we estimate that EC002 recorded a field of 60 ± 18 µT at a distance of ~2 to 3 astronomical units, 2.0 ± 0.3 My after the formation of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions. This record can only be explained if EC002 was magnetized by the field prevalent in the solar nebula. This makes EC002's record, particularly well resolved in time and space, one of the two earliest records of the solar nebula field. Such a field intensity is consistent with stellar accretion rates observed in extrasolar protoplanetary disks.
