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
Saponin, as nonionic emulsifier, has been broadly used in food products and formulations, such as ice cream, chocolates, mayonnaises and bakery food. Acanthophyllum caryophyllaceae root is known as Chubak in Iran and is one of the main sources of saponin. In the present study, saponin was extracted from dried A. caryophyllaceae root using hydro-alcoholic solvent in combination to ultrasonication. UV-Vis spectroscopy indicated that pure and extracted saponin (ES) had absorbance at 520 nm. Effects of the ethanol percentage in the hydro-alcoholic solution (10 to 80% V/V) and ultrasonication time (10 to 20 min) on the absorbance, emulsification index and antioxidant activity of the colloidal solution containing ES were evaluated. Colloidal solution with maximum absorbance (0.157% a.u), emulsification index (0.588) and antioxidant activity (25.55%), was obtained using optimum amount of ethanol in solvent and sonication time of 34% and 13 min, respectively. Finally, lyophilized saponin was prepared using colloidal solution having saponin with concentration of 1.4% W/V, and characterized by DLS, FT-IR, SEM, DSC, BET, XRD and DPPH methods. Lyophilized saponin shown spherical shape and semi-crystalline structure with particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, melting point and specific surface area of 7 nm, 0.341, - 15.3 mV, 123.7 °C and 72.14 m
