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
Phytoplasmas are phloem-restricted plant pathogens that infect different plant species, causing severe symptoms in agricultural and ornamental crops. ´Candidatus Phytoplasma palmae' strain LY-C2 is associated with the coconut lethal yellowing disease, a devastating disease for coconut palm. Currently, many phytoplasma genomes have been reported in the literature. One of these corresponds to the draft genome of 'Ca. P. palmae', strain ACPD, which is associated with the Texas Phoenix Palm Decline phytoplasma and belongs to the 16SrIV-D subgroup. The genome of 'Ca. P. palmae', strain ACPD has been sequenced but not thoroughly analyzed. In this study, we present the draft genome of 'Ca. P. palmae'-LY-C2, which belongs to the 16SrIV-A subgroup. It consists of 49 scaffolds, totaling 434,453 bp in length, and contains 412 coding-genes, with 365 of them being protein-coding genes. Fifty-four effectors were predicted, 24 of which are unique to this phytoplasma and 11 share homology with effectors of the Texas Phoenix Palm Decline phytoplasma. Some effectors have protein motifs in common with those of other phytoplasmas, but five new protein motifs exclusive to 'Ca. P. palmae'-LY-C2 were identified. This study also highlights similarities and differences between 'Ca. P. palmae'-LY-C2 and other phytoplasmas, including 'Ca. P. palmae' ACPD, providing new insights into this pathogen. The availability of these draft genomes lay the groundwork for further research on the pathogenic mechanisms and evolution of 'Ca. P. palmae'.
