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
Annual rings of conifers conventionally serve as a reliable indicator of climatic changes, whereas methods of such analyses are poorly developed for diffuse-porous species, such as the common aspen Populus tremula L. PiC densitometry was proposed as a new approach based on algorithmic analysis of the wood porosity distribution across the annual ring. Scotch pine Pinus sylvestris L. and aspen samples were used in the study. The method included measurement of the annual ring widths, anatomical analysis of the wood microstructure, and image processing to construct porosity profiles. Basic differences in porosity dynamics were observed between the species. In pine, porosity decreased by 70% from earlywood to latewood, reflecting a seasonal reduction in water supply. In aspen, the respective change did not exceed 20%, indicating a stable water demand throughout the season. Dendroclimatic analysis showed that pine radial growth was most sensitive to May-June precipitation, while temperatures during the same period were the key factor in aspen. PiC densitometry expands the possibilities of dendrochronological studies, allowing the use of diffuse-porous species for climate reconstruction and assessment of the climate effect on the wood structure.
