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
Cranberry fruit rot (CFR) has been a major challenge in cranberry production affecting fruit quality, particularly in Massachusetts and New Jersey. It is known to be a disease complex associated with several diverse fungi. This study provides the first comprehensive assessment of CFR fungal population dynamics across wild, organic, and conventional cranberry production systems in southeastern Massachusetts. By employing multiplex PCR, a high-throughput molecular method for the simultaneous detection of multiple fungi, we investigated the prevalence and diversity of 11 most commonly associated fruit rot fungi in 2021 and 2022, in 32 (23 conventional, 4 organic and 5 wild) and 50 (40 conventional, 4 organic and 6 wild) cranberry bogs respectively. Significant differences in the detection of CFR fungi were observed across these ecosystems. Conventional fields showed varied fruit rot incidence, ranging from 2-42% in 2021 and 1-48% in 2022. Species richness analysis indicated that on average, wild bogs were more species-rich and diverse, with 5.5 CFR fungi detected per sample compared to 4 CFR fungi in both conventional and organic bogs. Organic bogs exhibited a significant decline in species richness from 6 fungi in 2021 to 2 fungi in 2022. Except for
