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
Effect of modifying a vegetable grease with different amounts of chokeberry biocarbon on its tribological and rheological properties. The aim of the research was to investigate the effect of the incorporation of biochar derived from the pyrolysis of chokeberry biomass at 500 and 700 °C respectively, in lubricants formulated with vegetable oil, on their functional characteristics in terms of tribology and rheology. Fumed silicon dioxide was utilized as a thickening agent, ensuring the production of lubricants with a consistency class of II. The biochar was introduced into the lubricating formulations in concentrations of 1, 3, and 5%. A rapeseed-based grease with commercial activated carbon served as the reference sample. The research focused on assessing how this innovative additive influenced both the tribological and rheological behaviors of the resulting lubricants. The study evaluated the effects of chokeberry-derived biochar on the wear resistance and scuffing prevention properties of the vegetable-based greases. Additionally, the biochar's influence on various rheological parameters such as flow curves, viscosity profiles, hysteresis loops, and viscoelastic characteristics was analyzed. Results demonstrated that the biochar additive considerably enhanced the tribological and rheological performance of the tested rapeseed-based grease.
