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
The foraminiferal environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding based on high-throughput sequencing (HTS) is a powerful tool to unravel the hidden genetic diversity and environmental lineages. Results from the eDNA approach provided valuable insight into an unplumbed diversity of soft-bodied monothalamous foraminifers [1]. Micropaleontologists overlooked monothalamids due to their soft organic and/or finely agglutinated test, which often gets destroyed during routine morphological investigations [2]. On the other hand, some foraminifera taxonomists or studies included monothalamids (soft-shelled species) in ecological and diversity investigations ranging from deep-sea locations to coastal marine habitats [1], [3], [4]. Here, we document our metabarcoding analysis of foraminiferal diversity and abundance from the mining-affected estuaries of the Indian state of Goa. High-throughput sequencing using the Illumina platform indicated the overwhelming abundance of monothalamous foraminifers in the studied estuarine sediments. For the first time, such detailed data of the foraminiferal diversity utilizing sedimentary environmental DNA (eDNA) methods was carried out in India. The raw sequence data used for analysis is available in NCBI under the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) with the BioProjects and SRA accession number: PRJNA1040471. The presented data may be used as baseline information for eDNA-based biomonitoring and biodiversity assessment surveys from Indian marine habitats across time and space.
