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
This study was aimed at exploring the effect of varying lemongrass-ginger combinations, and boiling time on total phenolic contents (TPC), antioxidant activity, and antimicrobial efficacy of lemongrass-ginger tea. Lemongrass-ginger tea was produced by varying the percentage of lemongrass (25 %, 50 %, and 75 %) and boiling times (5, 10, and 15 min). The antioxidant activity of the lemongrass-ginger tea samples was investigated using the DPPH and ABTS assays whereas the TPC was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteau method. The antimicrobial activities were investigated by measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of the tea against selected microorganisms, and its combinatory effects with antimicrobial drugs. The lemongrass-ginger combination and the boiling time significantly affected antioxidant potential, TPC, and antimicrobial activities. TPC measured ranged between 966.7 ± 90.20 to 1761.3 ± 81.70 μgGAE/g whereas DPPH antioxidant activities varied from 43.97 ± 14.99 % to 75.20 ± 8.55 %. The highest values of TPC and DPPH were 1761.3 ± 81.70 μgGAE/g and 75.20 ± 8.55 % and were recorded by 75 % lemongrass-ginger combination boiled for 15 min. Furthermore, differences in lemongrass-ginger combination and boiling times resulted in varying antimicrobial activities against the test microorganisms. The lowest MBC was recorded for 50 % lemongrass boiled for 10 min against
