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
Women and men play a significant role in the cultivation and utilization of food crops. This study highlights the influence of gender on the cultivation and consumption of sweetpotato. The study employed cross-sectional purposive and simple random sampling techniques to select 300 respondents from three district capitals of the Volta region of Ghana. From the results, land preparation, planting, weeding and fertilizer application are dominated by men, while women are more involved in harvesting (34%) and marketing (74.3%). Gender preferences showed that women like the orange-fleshed variety more than men.

The consumption was linked to affordability, accessibility and preference. The smell of the sweetpotato strongly influenced the consumption pattern. Flour was the most preferred food product by women, while chips (frozen) were liked by men. The form of eating sweetpotato was positively correlated with the level of education, marital status and age, with significance at
