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
Frequent high temperatures render 'Kyoho' grapes prone to postharvest softening, berry drop, and insufficient coloration. To address these challenges, this study investigated the effects of preharvest foliar sprays of cinnamic acid (CA) and potassium cinnamate (PC) on fruit quality and storability. Grapes were treated with different concentrations of CA or PC from veraison to maturity, and followed by evaluation after 96 hours of storage at 25°C. The results indicated that high concentrations of CA and PC significantly enhanced fruit quality by increasing total soluble solids (TSS) content and the accumulation of antioxidants (e.g., total phenols, flavonoids, and ascorbic acid), while reducing titratable acidity (TA) and improving texture properties including peel puncture strength, flesh firmness, and elasticity. Furthermore, these treatments inhibited hydrolase activity (e.g., cellulase and pectinase), decreased berry drop and decay incidence, and suppressed pathogen growth (especially Penicillium and Aspergillus).
