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
The mass transfer performance of fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts is a key factor affecting the reaction activity and selectivity of catalytic cracking. This study employs confocal laser scanning microscopy with rhodamine B as a macromolecular fluorescent probe to simulate and investigate the mesoscale mass transfer behavior of heavy oil molecules on an FCC catalyst, achieving spatiotemporal imaging analysis of mass transfer patterns within catalyst microspheres. Results revealed that after 10 min, the probe molecules penetrated only about one-tenth of the microsphere's depth below the surface layer. Moreover, significant variations in concentration distribution were observed at different locations. This phenomenon stemmed from the compositional and structural heterogeneity across distinct regions of FCC catalyst particles, resulting in differential diffusion rates for the probe molecules. Combined with Fick's law calculations, the effective diffusion coefficient was determined to be in the order of 10
