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
With the advent of high-throughput sequencing techniques, natural history museums and herbaria have become new frontiers for genetic research. Genomic information from historical specimens has provided evidence to solve significant questions in broad research areas. However, access to such valuable genetic resources remains limited in lichens due to experimental challenges in extracting and amplifying highly degraded DNA in historical specimens. So far, only a handful of studies have reported successful sequencing of several short genetic markers from historical lichen specimens despite the increasing importance of genetic information in lichenology. Here, we aimed to establish an efficient method for sequencing the whole genome of historical lichen specimens. We modified a method used in ancient DNA studies and sequenced the whole genome of
