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
Histochemical detection of suberin lamellae has remarkably advanced our understanding of the roles of the apoplastic diffusion barrier in the root endodermis and the oxygen diffusion barrier in the root exodermis. Fluorol yellow 088 detects the aliphatic component of suberin and is one of the most reliable stains for detecting suberin lamellae in the endodermis and exodermis. Although fluorol yellow 088 staining can detect suberin lamellae in various plant roots by a simple procedure, conventional methods are time-consuming, as they need a long time to prepare the solution, stain, and wash the samples. Here, we propose a rapid method to minimize the time required to achieve suberin staining using root cross-sections. While conventional methods use polyethylene glycol-glycerol or lactic acid as the solvent, we found that fluorol yellow 088 readily dissolves into ethanol. This modification remarkably shortened the time required to prepare the solution, stain, and wash root cross-sections. Thus, our method will enhance the study of root anatomy and the histological development of plant roots.
