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
The upper limits of the stiffness of organic crystals, a newly established class of engineering materials, are an underexplored, yet very exciting domain of the material property space, because it could potentially provide ordered materials composed of light atoms with mechanical properties comparable to those of light metals and alloys. At present, however, the discovery of mechanically stiff and hard crystals is entirely serendipitous, since the relationships between the stiffness and crystal structure remain elusive. Here, guided by the very high density of the crystals of mucic (galactaric) acid, we investigated and report that this material is an ultrastiff organic crystal, with a Young's modulus obtained by nanoindentation on the (100)/(1̄00) pair of faces of
