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
In this paper, we describe Lepocinclis loricata sp. nov. (Phacaceae), a sessile loricate euglenid that differs from all known loricate taxa by its unique combination of the presence of a lorica, monad morphology, sessile habit, and phylogenetic position within the Phacaceae. Populations of this species inhabit two turbid, silt-rich waterbodies, namely an artificial impoundment in the Western Cape Province and a natural, small river in the Free State Province, South Africa. The cylindrical, transparent loricae of L. loricata sp. nov. are attached to fine clay and silt particles suspended in the water column. Each lorica encloses a rigid, spindle-shaped monad containing numerous chloroplasts without pyrenoids and two large, rod-like paramylon grains. Phylogenetic analyses place L. loricata sp. nov. within the Lepocinclis clade, representing a loricate euglenid identified in the family Phacaceae. This discovery provides new insight into the diversification and adaptive evolution of photosynthetic euglenids and the independent emergence of sessility within the group.
