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
Background: African American (AA) women participate in low levels of physical activity (PA), under consume fruits and vegetables (FV), and experience poor psychological health. Increasing evidence suggests community gardening as an approach to positively affect health. The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility of an 8-week culturally tailored community gardening intervention among middle-aged AA women. Methods: Eleven AA women (45-64 years) participated in a single group pre-posttest feasibility study during the summer of 2023 in Champaign, Illinois. The intervention included a novel approach to cultural tailoring by embedding Black History Knowledge (BHK) within the context of community gardening. Feasibility was assessed through a postintervention survey. Device-assessed PA (Fitbit Charge 3), FV consumption (Veggie Meter®), self-report PA, food frequency questionnaire, and psychological health were assessed at baseline and postintervention. Wilcoxon signed rank tests examined changes in pre-post measures. Effect size estimates were calculated using Results: Participants increased device-assessed daily step count (median 880 steps per day increase; r=0.53; Conclusion: A culturally tailored, community-gardening intervention may be a feasible approach to increase device-assessed PA and FV consumption and improve psychological health among AA women, but future studies should be adequately powered.
