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
A novel mixed-mode air recirculation solar dryer was developed and tested for drying sweet corn kernels. The air recirculation system was combined with an evacuated tube solar collector installed on a mixed-mode solar dryer. Performance parameters such as the drying kinetics and drying efficiency were investigated. The time required to dry sweet corn kernels with open sun drying was 21.5 h, whereas using the mixed-mode solar dryer was much faster, taking about 12-16 h to reduce the moisture content from an initial 77.12% to a final 12.34 - 14.2%. The drying efficiency ranged from 9.8479 to 14.3776%, with the SEC ranging from 10.1733 kWh/kg to 12.7867 kWh/kg. The ETSC efficiency ranged from 48.9754 to 61.9727% and could heat water to 62 °C. Overall, drying at a 50% air recirculation ratio showed the best performance.
