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
There is increased interest on the challenges of health, safety and ecological sustainability posed by herbicide misuse, which highlights the urgent need for the production of an effiecnt and applicable sensor for easy, quick, and user-friendly on-site detection of herbicide residues. In this study, a novel electrochemical sensor was developed using Zinc methylimidazolate synthesized via an environmentally benign method for the detection of atrazine (ATZ), a widely used herbicide and known environmental contaminant. The green-synthesized Zinc methylimidazolate material exhibited excellent electrochemical activity, enabling sensitive and selective detection of ATZ. Complementary molecular docking studies were employed to explore the interaction dynamics between ATZ and the Zinc methylimidazolate framework, revealing a favorable binding affinity that supports the experimental observations. The sensor achieved a detection limit of 1.73 μM, underscoring its potential for real-world monitoring of pesticide residues in aqueous environments. The combined use of experimental and computational approaches provides a comprehensive understanding of the sensing mechanism, while also highlighting the value of sustainable materials in analytical applications. This work positions Zinc methylimidazolate as a promising candidate for the development of next-generation green sensors for environmental surveillance.
