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
Contamination with tropane alkaloids in cereals is expected to increase globally. However, current identification tools (e.g., liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) for tropane alkaloids are time-consuming and expensive. Furthermore, their miniaturized alternatives lack sensitivity and robustness. Therefore, there is a pressing need for inexpensive and effective screening methods. Here, an on-site applicable modular workflow for tropane alkaloid detection in buckwheat is presented. The modular workflow combines paper microfluidics and interconnectable 3D-printed sample preparation tools and was evaluated for different tropane alkaloids, including atropine and scopolamine. Furthermore, integration with an indirect competitive lateral flow immunoassay (icLFIA) for atropine detection at relevant levels was demonstrated. In the modular workflow, to minimize matrix coextraction, tropane alkaloids were extracted from the milled buckwheat cereals by a mixture of alkaline aqueous and immiscible organic solvents (extraction recoveries: 66-79%). The tropane alkaloids were subsequently concentrated with a newly developed paper-immobilized liquid-phase microextraction (PI-LPME, extraction recoveries: 34-60%, concentration factor to immobilized solution in paper: 60-108×). After the PI-LPME, with an integrated 3D-printed setup, the tropane alkaloids were directly eluted (elution recoveries: 83-93%) and detected with the icLFIA. Digital read-out of the icLFIA, by employing a hand-held reader, enabled semiquantification of atropine (IC
