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
Andean crops are highlighted for their bioactive compounds with diverse functional properties. These properties can be exploited to produce functional coatings that conserve fresh fruits. This study aimed to evaluate the purple corn flour coating by adding muña essential oil and montmorillonite to the shelf life of strawberries. The components of muña essential oil were characterized. The treatments evaluated were T1-control, without coating, T2 (2.5% w/v), T3 (3% w/v), and T4 (4% w/v) of purple corn flour, 0.2% w/v montmorillonite, and 0.2% v/v muña essential oil. The strawberries were stored at 4 °C ± 1ºC for 12 days. Weight loss, total soluble solids, pH, acidity, color, firmness, and microbial activity were evaluated. The results show that the main compounds of muña essential oil were pulegone (49.4%), iso-menthone (18.5%), and menthone (17.7%). The coated strawberries showed less weight loss than the control, and their acidity decreased slightly. The coating conserved the color and appearance of the strawberries. The concentration of purple corn flour did not significantly influence the color of coated strawberries. T3 and T4 maintain the firmness of strawberries during storage. The mold and yeast count of the coated treatments was 1.24 log CFU g
