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
Introduction: The Zingiberaceae family encompasses numerous species renowned for their significant pharmacological properties and culinary importance. Despite this value, many species remain under-utilized due to the absence of basic molecular information, which hinders effective conservation and sustainable utilization. Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers are particularly suitable for genetic studies in such species, as they are highly polymorphic and do not necessitate a reference genome. Microsatellite capture sequencing (MiCAPs) presents a cost-effective solution by enriching libraries for SSR-containing fragments prior to sequencing, substantially reducing data requirements and costs for marker discovery. Methods: MiCAPs was applied to 160 accessions, including 148 samples from 14 Zingiberaceae species and 12 samples from an outgroup (Musaceae family). SSR marker candidates were developed and evaluated via electronic-PCR (ePCR) for seven target species. Phylogenetic relationships were reconstructed using consensus sequences from MiCAPs data, and genetic similarity patterns were assessed using Polymorphic SSR Retrieval (PSR) analysis across Results: A total of 21.78 million raw reads were generated, from which 612 SSR marker candidates were developed. A genus-level phylogenetic tree successfully reconstructed the relationships among the 14 Zingiberaceae species. Comparative genetic diversity analysis revealed that Discussion: This integrated workflow combining MiCAPs, ePCR, and PSR demonstrates a practical approach for marker development and diversity assessment in polyploid species lacking reference genomes. Despite the genetic complexities inherent in Zingiberaceae, especially potential polyploidy, our approach proved highly effective in establishing a robust phylogenetic framework and enabling comprehensive genetic diversity assessment. The novel set of 612 SSR marker candidates represents a significant resource that will facilitate future genetic studies focused on the diversity, evolutionary relationships, conservation, and sustainable utilization of valuable Zingiberaceae species.
