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
Leaf rust, caused by the obligate fungal pathogen Puccinia purpurea, poses a serious threat to sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] production leading to significant yield losses and undermining its values as renewable fuel crop. In this study, the United States Department of Agriculture-Agriculture Research Service, National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) Sudan core collection was evaluated for rust-resistant response across four tropical environments. The analysis identified 18 accessions with rust resistant, among which four accessions (PI 568621, PI 569393, PI 570548, and PI 570974) consistently showed no rust pustules across all environments. Genome-wide association analysis led to the identification of a 57 kbp genomic region on chromosome 8 that encompasses a cluster of five homologous R genes. The resequencing analysis of the first exon from one candidate gene (Sobic.008G178200) found 61 point mutations that generate seven haplotypes. The high homology of these five genes and seven haplotypes indicates that this cluster might be acting as a single locus (Rp2) against P. purpurea. Comparative genome analysis found that the orthologs of Rp2 locus in maize (Zm00001d023311) are associated with the resistant response to Puccinia polysora, the causal agent of southern corn rust and in rice (Os12G29690), with resistance to the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens). The introgression of the Rp2 locus into elite varieties or the inclusion of top-performing Sudanese tropical accessions in pre-breeding germplasm can accelerate the development of improved sorghum germplasm with durable rust resistant.
