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
We report the first record of the occurrence of the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar, 1823) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), an economically important pest of bananas (Musa spp.), from Fifa Mountains in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, we recorded the first observation of damage caused to bananas by C. sordidus in a banana farm in Jazan Province, southwestern Saudi Arabia, in March 2022. Molecular characterization using DNA sequences of the mitochondrial COI gene confirmed the morphological identification of C. sordidus. This discovery is considered a warning notice to prevent the potential establishment and spread of this dangerous pest in the banana cultivation regions in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, it is recommended that detection and monitoring of banana weevil should be undertaken in Saudi banana farms in order to restrict the dissemination of this weevil to other banana cultivation areas.
