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 examines earthworm behaviour by combining locomotion-based motility assessments with evaluations of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition. Motility analysis revealed significant differences in the two-dimensional movement patterns of earthworms exposed to carbamate pesticides compared to those in the control group, indicating altered trajectories. AChE assays demonstrated a pronounced inhibitory effect on enzyme activity in exposed earthworms relative to unexposed individuals. Both univariate and multivariate analyses confirmed that the pesticide contaminant significantly affects AChE activity as well as the quantitative and directional characteristics of earthworm movement. These results suggest that behavioural testing in earthworms is a valuable tool for understanding the impact of pesticides on non-target organisms and the environment.
