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
This study explored the great potential of endophytic fungi associated with red seaweed Gracilaria sp. and brown seaweed Sargassum sp. of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh, for the first time. Endophytic fungi were identified taxonomically by morphological features and molecular characterisation (ITS sequence). The identification of six fungal isolates revealed five different fungal species belonging to four genera, namely, Aspergillus subversicolor, A. terreus and Cladosporium halotolerans isolated from Gracilaria sp. and Chaetomium globosum, A. terreus and Curvularia perotidis isolated from Sargassum sp. The ethyl acetate extracts of fungal endophytes were evaluated for antimicrobial activity, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and brine shrimp lethality bioassay. Amongst all the fungal extracts evaluated in this study, four showed mild to moderate inhibitory activity (10-14 mm) against the tested bacterial strains. Exceptionally, Chaetomium globosum exerted significant antibacterial activity with the highest zone of inhibition (21 ± 0.3 mm) against the Gram-negative bacterial strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa and also showed moderate antifungal activity (13 ± 0.9 mm) against A. niger. Sargassum sp.-derived A. terreus exhibited the strongest DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC
