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 simple and rapid smartphone-based colorimetric assay for peracetic acid concentration was developed to facilitate point-of-use disinfectant preparations for infection prevention and control. The colorimetric detection was based on the oxidation of N,N-diethyl-phenylenediamine by peracetic acid through an intermediate reaction with potassium iodide, resulting in pink-magenta products. The colorimetric reaction was performed on a 96-well plate; then, the color products were photographed in one image. The color intensity was evaluated to determine the peracetic acid concentration using a custom-built mobile application named Modern Peracetic Acid Analysis. The relative green intensity of the pink-magenta products was directly proportional to the peracetic acid concentration in the range of 0.15 to 3.0 µg/mL. The detection and quantitation limits were 0.11 µg/mL and 0.34 µg/mL, respectively. The approach was successfully applied to determine the peracetic acid concentration in pharmaceutical disinfectant formulations. The results obtained using the proposed approach showed no significant differences from those obtained using acid-base titration at the 95% confidence level. The greenness of the proposed approach was evaluated using the Complementary Green Analytical Procedure Index, Analytical Greenness, and Blue Applicability Grade Index, demonstrating enhanced environmental friendliness and practical advantages, as well as simple, portable instrumentation that is easier to operate than traditional spectrophotometric and titration methods. Furthermore, a sustainability assessment based on the Need, Quality, and Sustainability index underscored its enhanced sustainability.
