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.
2 · The registryThe 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.

6 · The paper itselfAbstract
Free-living amoebae (FLA) are protozoa ubiquitous in nature, isolated from a variety of environments worldwide. In addition to their natural distribution, some species have been found to be pathogenic to humans. In the present study, FLA presence was evaluated and characterized at the molecular level from different water and soil samples in Fuerteventura Island, Canary Islands, Spain. A total of 31 samples were analyzed by culture and molecular assays (q-PCR and PCR). Moreover, the microbiological quality of the water samples was examined as required by current legislation and international standards. The obtained data revealed that the genus
