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
Given the unsuitability of the standard quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS)-based method for multiresidue pesticide analysis in mealworm larvae due to their complex composition and high lipid content, we established a gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based procedure for the detection and quantitation of 247 pesticides in this matrix. The optimized extraction solvent (0.1 % formic acid in acetonitrile) was combined with the original QuEChERS salt packet to achieve high recovery rates, and matrix-derived interferents were effectively removed without analyte loss using primary secondary amine-based dispersive solid-phase extraction (cleanup step). Acceptable linearities, high recoveries, and low detection limits were achieved for most analytes. The detection of triadimenol in 24 field samples suggested that mealworms absorb pesticides from bran, their primary feed source. The developed method is suitable for monitoring pesticide residues in mealworm larvae and similar edible insects, providing a reliable tool for regulatory bodies and relevant industries.
