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
Due to the low heating efficiency of heat pumps for tobacco curing caused by the low external environment in high-altitude areas, the high energy consumption and unstable heating is easy to occur. According to the heating model of flue-cured tobacco needed, the integrated crew of the air-source HP heating/dehumidification equipment was designed, primarily consisting of the heating and dehumidification systems of the bulk curing barn. Frequency conversion technology was used to quantify the output power of the two heating systems in line with different temperature and humidity in the tobacco curing process. The test results showed that: (1) When the ambient temperature is higher than 18 °C, the maximum power of the two systems working together is 14 kW; in the tobacco curing process, the dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures fluctuate slightly around the designed value, meeting the tobacco curing requirements at different stages; (2) The coefficient of performance (COP) of the heating system hourly reached the maximum value of 4.35 kW/(kW/h) in the process; and the average specific moisture extraction rate (SMER) and the capacity of the dehumidification system in a single barn reached 23.85 kg/h and 3.06 kg/(kW/h) respectively. In conclusion, the structure and control program of the equipment could be used as a reference for drying other similar products.
