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
This paper presents the design of an omnidirectional-mobile paddle boat (OMPB) used in narrow rivers, ponds, and canals. Compared with common propeller boats, the OMPB has advantages such as zero turning radius and shallow draft. Firstly, a prototype is built in which there are four paddles connected with four DC motors, allowing the boat to move like an omnidirectional Mecanum-wheeled vehicle. Subsequently, to develop the OMPB's autonomous navigation algorithms, a kinematic model is established and dynamic analysis is performed. To improve the ability of resisting disturbances and control precision, a control algorithm based on fuzzy controller is designed for trajectory tracking. Experimental validations cover trajectory tracking performance during both straight-line navigation and turning maneuvers. The results demonstrate that the OMPB is competent to carry out omnidirectional movement, and the actual navigation trajectory is highly consistent with the theoretical trajectory, with a tracking error within 40 mm and a heading angle error within 1.8°. The OMPB platform can be reformed into special-purpose vessels for floating garbage collection and fish feeding in narrow water areas.
