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
Gomantong and Madai caves are two of the largest limestone formations with intricate cave systems located in the Lower Kinabatangan and Kunak areas, respectively, in Sabah, Malaysia, Borneo. Despite their ecological and economic significance, limited published information exists on the bat species inhabiting these caves. This study aims to analyze bat diversity at both caves and compare their species richness and diversity to other cave inventories in Sabah and Sarawak. Two bat surveys were conducted around Gomantong caves with a combined trapping effort of 56 trap nights deployed in the surrounding forest. A bat survey at Madai cave utilized 16 trap nights deployed within the caves. A total of 974 and 264 bats were captured from Gomantong and Madai caves, representing 14 and 8 bat species, respectively. A compilation of bat species records from previous studies shows that Gomantong and Madai caves host at least 26 and 30 bat species, respectively. Comparisons with other caves across Malaysian Borneo reveal that Mulu cave and Wind cave in Sarawak, each with 29 species, rank just below Madai cave in bat diversity. Gomantong and Madai caves serve as critical roosting habitats for diverse bat species, including Borneo-endemic and rare species (e.g.,
