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
In the study, we report an effective and one-step chemical treatment for directly isolating microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) with a width of 10-50 μm and length of 100-1000 μm from various agricultural waste sources. This chemical treatment uses a peracetic acid solution combined with 2% H₂SO₄ at 80 °C for 2 h. After this one -step chemical treatment, we observed significant changes in chemical composition. For example, the cellulose percentage substantially increased across all biomass sources: from 26.73 to 55.94% for dragon fruit foliage, and from 41.26 to 64.13% for corn cob, and from 17.86 to 67.38% for banana pseudostem. Simultaneously, the lignin content decreased from 22.05 to 1.03%, 12.74 to 3.76% and 14.27 to 2.73%, respectively for dragon fruit foliage, corn cob, and banana pseudostem. XRD confirmed that the crystallinity of the bleached cellulose is high (above 65%), and elemental analysis showed the existence of only O and C elements in the bleached sample. We attributed the effectivity of our chemical treatment to the combination effect of solvent polarity, strong oxidative agent and H
