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
Objective: To evaluate the predictors of tensile strength of nylon and polyglycolic acid when immersed in Peruvian camu camu and tumbo juices. Methods: An in vitro experimental and comparative study was conducted following the CRIS guidelines for reporting laboratory studies. A total of 192 samples of sutures were tested under laboratory conditions, measuring their initial resistance at days 3, 7, and 14. The juices, prepared in an artisanal way to preserve their natural characteristics, were monitored for pH daily. Mechanical tests were performed using a digital tensile machine, and data were analyzed with Stata 17.0 statistical software using Student's Results: Both materials displayed a timewise decrease in strength, with polyglycolic acid being stronger than nylon at all time points measured. At time 0 polyglycolic acid and nylon were noted as 12.23 ± 0.40 N and 8.94 ± 0.17 N, respectively. At day 14 polyglycolic acid and nylon were noted as 11.24 ± 0.38 N and 7.59 ± 0.38 N, respectively. The camu camu juice and the tumbo juice displayed similar effects ( Conclusion: Such a conclusion tends to confirm the greater acid resistance of polyglycolic acid over nylon and adds more weight to pH as a variable affecting suture degradation. We may learn to make more intelligent choices of absorbable sutures at the operating table.
