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
Gyrinops walla Garten., which is an endemic and endangered species of Sri Lanka, produces the world's most expensive agarwood used in perfume industry. The high demand for agarwood has resulted in indiscriminate felling of trees, thus threatening the survival of the species. The present study aimed to develop an efficient in vitro rapid multiplication technique to conserve the existing trees from extinction, by ensuring the sustainable supply of planting materials for commercial cultivations and to investigate the possibility of producing fragrance compounds by in vitro plantlets without felling trees. Efficient micropropagation protocol was developed from axillary buds and shoot tip explants. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L BAP was the best for the establishment of both shoot tips (80.0%) and axillary buds (86.0%). Regenerated buds were further multiplied (10.6 ± 0.93 shoot buds/regenerated shoot) and elongated (4.0 ± 0.26 cm) by transferring to MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L BAP, 0.1 mg/L IBA and 40 g/L sucrose. Highest in vitro rooting percentage (66.7%) was recorded in ½ MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L IAA and 40 g/L sucrose. However, none of the shoots rooted on MS media could be acclimatized. Significantly higher percentage of rooted shoots (93.3%) were produced on sand medium without auxin treatment compared to shoots cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/L IAA (66%) and successfully acclimatized with 83.6% survival rate in a medium consisted of sand, topsoil, and compost (1:1:1 ratio). TLC fingerprints of ethyl acetate extracts of in vitro grown plantlets and agarwood produced similar spots at the retention factors (Rf) of 0.60, 0.66, and 0.87 under 15% methanol: 85% chloroform solvent system. Chemicals present in in vitro plantlets were identified and compared with the agarwood of naturally grown G. walla by GC-MS. Both natural agarwood and in vitro grown shoot extracts contained 4-Hydroxypyridine 1-oxide (23.2%), 2-tetradecene (16.3%), 1-hexadecene (0.3%), E-15-heptadecenal (19.8%), 18-norabietane (0.6%) and eicosane (0.4%). Present study successfully developed a protocol for rapid multiplication of G. walla and indicates the possibility of using of in vitro plantlets to produce agarwood resinous compounds.
