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
The genus Pithecellobium Mart. (Caesalpinioideae, Fabaceae) plays vital ecological roles, including nitrogen fixation and habitat stabilization, and holds significant medicinal and economic values. However, its genetic diversity and evolutionary relationships remain poorly understood. This study presents the first complete chloroplast (cp.) genome of Pithecellobium dulce (Roxb.) Benth., a widely distributed tropical tree. The complete cp. genome was assembled de novo using NOVOPlasty and annotated with GeSeq and Geneious Prime. Repeat elements and codon usage analyses were analyzed using REPuter, Phobos, and Geneious Prime. Comparative genomic analyses included structural comparisons, IR expansion/contraction, and nucleotide divergence. Phylogenetic relationships were inferred from protein-coding genes using IQ-TREE and MrBayes, with divergence times estimated via BEAST2. The cp. genome of P. dulce was 179,483 bp long, exhibiting a typical quadripartite structure with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 91,513 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 4,560 bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 41,705 bp each. It encoded 142 genes, including 97 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Comparative analysis revealed a conserved genomic structure within the Pithecellobium subclade, with notable IR expansion into SSC and LSC regions. Phylogenetic analysis placed P. dulce within the Pithecellobium subclade, closely related to Ebenopsis ebano Britton & Rose and Havardia acatlensis (Benth.) Britton & Rose. Divergence time estimates suggest that Pithecellobium subclade diverged in the late Miocene (~ 29.96 Ma), with P. dulce and E. ebano separating around 16.79 Ma. This study provides an essential genomic resource for resolving phylogenetic relationships and advancing taxonomic research in Caesalpinioideae.
