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 particular laser harmonic with an effective combination of process parameters can break plastic bonds by surpassing the dissociation threshold. Exploring this direction is imperative to uncover new physics and chemistry related to laser-high-density polyethylene (HDPE) interactions and to understand the phenomena occurring during laser induced degradation. An experiment was conducted in an open-air environment using the first (1064 nm), second (532 nm), and fourth (266 nm) harmonics at a 20 Hz repetition rate, with pulse energies of 5-40 mJ for the first and second harmonics, and 3-10 mJ for the fourth harmonic. The findings revealed that all laser harmonics broke HDPE bonds, with the fourth harmonic being the most effective in directly breaking bonds, particularly C-H bonds, which was evident from a prominent Hα peak at 656.3 nm. The results demonstrate initial, partial, and post-bond breaking, which can address deficiencies in laser-HDPE recycling and enable laser-induced HDPE pyrolysis, which has not been investigated. Optical microscopic analysis showed that craters formed by the fourth harmonic were wider and exhibited more efficient photon absorption with minimal ablation. Additionally, a high confidence interval (
