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
Fusarium basal rot (FBR) severely reduces onion production by causing substantial pre- and post-harvest losses, resulting in shortage of onion during the lean period. Among many reported Fusarium species causing FBR, the Fusarium acutatum and Fusarium falciforme have become more aggressive with their increasing prevalence. The current study evaluated and compared the five different 'onion bulb inoculation methods' to induce F. acutatum and F. falciforme mediated bulb rotting under controlled laboratory conditions. The methods tested included: (1) cotton swab impregnated with spore suspension, (2) pinprick at the basal plate followed by dipping in spore suspension, (3) a combination of pinprick, dipping, and cotton swab, (4) disk inoculation, and (5) injection of spore suspension. Onion bulb rotting was monitored for 15 days post-inoculation observing mycelial growth, tissue necrosis, affected bulb surface area and affected bulb tissue volume, histopathology, and disease rating. Depending upon effectiveness of methods, the bulb rot affected area ranged from 32 to 70 cm
