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
Introduction: Purple eggplant ( Methods: Integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses were conducted to investigate anthocyanin profiles and gene expression patterns during fruit development. Metabolomic profiling identified anthocyanin types, while transcriptomic data highlighted differentially expressed genes. Transient overexpression assays of candidate MYB transcription factors (TFs) were performed to validate their regulatory roles in anthocyanin biosynthesis. Results: Total anthocyanin content significantly increased as the fruit peel color deepened from S1 to S3. Metabolomic analysis detected 11 distinct anthocyanins, with concentrations rising progressively across stages. Transcriptomics revealed 8 structural genes and 11 MYB TFs enriched in the anthocyanin pathway. Transient overexpression of Discussion: This study demonstrates that anthocyanin accumulation in eggplant fruit peels is tightly linked to the upregulation of biosynthetic genes and MYB TFs during development. The functional validation of
