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
Nowadays deodorants and antiperspirants play an important role in maintaining daily hygiene, exerting a substantial influence on both physical comfort and social functioning. Consequently, they can be regarded as a pivotal component of contemporary personal hygiene programs. The aim of this study was to undertake a comparative analysis of the elemental composition of diverse samples (72) of various roll-on deodorants and antiperspirants, sticks, and solid natural potassium-aluminium alums. These analyses were performed using ICP-OES and SEM-EDS techniques. The obtained results were then subjected to statistical and chemometric analysis. Studies demonstrated that Al and Zr were the most significant elements in the tested samples. Aluminium, a prevalent component in antiperspirants, was quantified in concentrations ranging from 0.9% to 4.4%, and in potassium-aluminium alums up to 4.7%. Aluminium and zirconium compounds were found to be the predominant elements in stick antiperspirants, with zirconium levels reaching up to 3%. The presence of lead was quantified in 35 of the 72 samples, with 19 samples exhibiting concentrations exceeding 1 mg/L. The highest lead level, reaching 15.90 mg/L, was found in potassium-aluminium alum. Furthermore, SEM-EDS analysis was conducted to verify the elemental composition, to provide data on additional ingredients, and to partially verify the information contained on the product labels.
