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 predatory mite, Neoseiulus baraki Athias-Henriot has been reported from the Asia, Africa and Americas, frequently in association with eriophyid and tetranychid mites, these are the most important pests of fig trees in different parts of the world. The objective of our study was to examine the influence of different diets on biological characteristics and life table parameters of the predatory mite Neoseiulus baraki under laboratory conditions. All trials were conducted on fig leaf discs in an incubator at 33 ± 2 °C, 55 ± 5% RH, and a photoperiod of 12:12 (L: D) h. As food sources for the predatory mite, nymphal stages of fig bud mite Aceria ficus (Cotte) (Acari: Eriophyidae), different life stages of two spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), corn pollen Zea mays L. and citrus pollen Citrus aurantium L. were selected. The results show that food type did not significantly effect on N. baraki survival; it varied between 95 and 98%. Development time was significantly shorter for N. baraki females fed on A. ficus (5.17 ± 0.16 days) than T. urticae (6.49 ± 0.31 days) or corn pollen (6.72 ± 0.20 days) or citrus pollen (6.91 ± 0.30 days). Female longevity varied from 21.31 ± 2.09 to 27.43 ± 1.78 days; the maximum value was noted on a diet of A. ficus. The longest oviposition period and greatest value of fecundity was observed on A. ficus, followed by T. urticae, corn pollen and citrus pollen. The net reproduction rate (R
