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 conducts a comprehensive palynofacies and geochemical analysis to characterize organic matter (OM) in shale samples from the Godavari Basin. Palynofacies analysis identified three types of organic matter under transmitted light: translucent organic matter (TrOM), comprising palynomorphs, structured phytoclasts, and degraded organic matter; and two types of opaque phytoclasts/charcoal (CH), distinguished as palaeofire-induced (PAL-CH) and oxidized (OX-CH). The multifaceted approach is applied through Raman spectroscopy, Rock-Eval, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to assess organic carbon's thermal evolution and structural integrity required to substantiate the palynological evidence on microcharcoal. The intensity ratio (ID/IG) ranged from 0.20 to 0.47, indicating varying impacts of thermal events on carbon structures. Higher ID/IG ratios corresponded with samples affected by palaeofires. Additionally, D-FWHM and G-FWHM parameters were analyzed, revealing larger D-FWHM values in thermally matured samples, indicating greater disorder in the carbon structure. The D-FWHM/G-FWHM ratio, exceeding unity, suggested significant structural shifts toward disordered carbon domains. Consequently, the presence of overmaturation of organic matter ranging from 411 to 609 °C indicates the alteration of organic matter due to the impact of heat causing the removal of hydrogen from the samples. FTIR spectroscopy suggests the presence of aromatic and aliphatic deformation due to thermal maturation. This integrated approach combining palaeofire history, Raman spectroscopy, and geochemical analysis provides valuable insights into the palaeofire history and structural evolution of charcoal in the Godavari Basin shales.
