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
Acetone in human exhaled breath is a key biomarker for diabetes, yet current metal oxide-based acetone sensors face challenges in detecting low-concentration acetone effectively at room temperature. Herein, we report a heterojunction by self-assembled peptide fibrillar nanoforests (SPNFs) and ZnO to fabricate an acetone sensor device. Among these materials, the well-ordered and uniformly arranged SPNFs offer a large surface area and a porous framework that promotes target gas adsorption, while also facilitating the homogeneous distribution of ZnO nanoparticles. Under room temperature and UV illumination, the SPNFs/ZnO-3 sensor demonstrates a response of 5.86 to 50 ppm acetone—over fourfold higher than that of pure ZnO. Furthermore, this sensor features a low detection limit and exhibits a response of 1.59 in the presence of 1 ppm acetone. The proposed methodology establishes a novel platform for the design and fabrication of gas sensors applicable to life health, environmental surveillance, and other fields, with excellent compatibility with existing microelectronic technology processes.
