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 paper presents the effect of environmentally friendly additives on selected parameters and microbial degradation of Marine Diesel Oil (MDO). Microbiological contamination is a serious problem in MDO and other petroleum products. For this reason, it was decided to investigate the effects of environmentally friendly additives such as silver solution and colloidal nanosilver, as well as effective liquid microorganisms and ceramic tubes with different percentages of them in diesel oil (MDO) on its selected parameters and inhibition of bacterial and fungal growth. The tests were conducted on a mixture of fuel with four types of environmentally friendly additives at concentrations of 2% and 5%, and on fuel without any additives. The effect of the additives on selected diesel parameters, including flash point, water content and acid number, as well as density and kinematic viscosity, is presented. The diesel oil was also subjected to microbiological tests. It was found that the most beneficial additive that positively influenced diesel parameters and microbial degradation was a silver solution at a concentration of 2%. The lowest ignition temperature was obtained when ionic silver was used, i.e. 60 °C, which is closest to the value for pure diesel fuel. The addition of effective microorganisms in liquid form to the fuel in an amount of 2%, increases the ignition temperature to 62.2 °C and this is the highest value obtained in comparison with other additives. The lowest water content in the test samples was obtained for the effective microorganisms in ceramic form at - 0.0068%, while the highest value was obtained for the silver solution at 0.0123%. At 100 °C, the highest kinematic viscosity was obtained for EM in ceramic, at 1.11 mm
