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
Background: Koi fish ( Aim: This study aimed to analyze the anatomical structure and distribution of taste buds in the palatal organs of six popular koi varieties in Indonesia: Kohaku, Shiro, Showa, Sanke, Platinum, and Ogon. Method: Eighteen koi fish, three of each variety and aged 4-6 months, were examined using histological techniques and scanning electron microscopy. Results: Although no macroscopic or histological differences were observed in the palatal organs across varieties, significant variation in taste bud density was noted. The Ogon variety exhibited the highest average taste bud density (23.95 ± 7.03), whereas the Shiro variety had the lowest (17.03 ± 5.26). Conclusion: Statistical analysis revealed that taste bud density significantly differed among varieties, with the Ogon variety having a notably higher density than the Shiro and Sanke. These findings suggest that selective breeding of ornamental traits may affect sensory function.
