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
Corn is a widely grown cereal crop that serves as a model plant for genetic and evolutionary studies. However, the heterosis pattern of sweet corn remains unclear. Here, we analysed the genetic diversity and population structure of 514 sweet corn inbred lines and 181 field corn inbred lines. The population structure study enabled the classification of sweet corn into four groups: temperate sweet corns 1 and 2, tropical sweet corn, and subtropical sweet corn, in addition to the temperate and tropical field corn groups. Temperate sweet corn groups 1 and 2 were merged into the temperate sweet corn cluster in the phylogenetic trees. Principal component analysis divided sweet corn into four groups: temperate groups 1 and 2, tropical, and subtropical. Sweet corn exhibited lower levels of genetic diversity, polymorphism information content, and minor allele frequency than field corn. The average genetic distances and differentiation coefficients between inbreds within each sweet corn group were lower than those within field corn groups, indicating a relatively narrow genetic base in sweet corn. Taken together, the 514 sweet corn inbred lines can be divided into four groups: temperate 1, temperate 2, tropical, and subtropical. The classification of sweet corn groups in this study provides a reference for the breeding of sweet corn.
