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
To effectively utilise secondary raw materials, pre-concentrates of defined quality are required. Packaging waste streams are treated in waste sorting plants, where different sorting operations are applied. Ballistic separators are frequently used to separate 2D and 3D materials during (pre)conditioning and therefore have a major influence on the overall process performance. Despite their widespread use, until now, few studies have examined how parameter settings affect the performance of ballistic separators. To assess and optimise process performance, we conducted a parameter study on packaging waste using an industrial-scale ballistic separator and near-infrared-based process monitoring. At 22.5 wt% 2D input content, we varied 2D material properties, paddle angle (15°, 17.5°, 20°), rotational speeds (
