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
backgroundPlant extracts are promising eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic fungicides for developing sustainable plant protection strategies. Grapevine downy mildew, caused by Plasmopara viticola, is a devastating disease that requires frequent fungicide applications, making it an ideal target for plant-based products. Salvia officinalis extracts are known to reduce downy mildew severity, but little is known about the efficacy and chemical composition of other fast-growing Salvia species with low economic value. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of alcoholic extracts of Russian sage (Salvia yangii) against grapevine downy mildew and to annotate bioactive compounds against P. viticola.
resultsAlcoholic extracts from flowers, leaves, and shoots of Russian sage decreased downy mildew severity on grapevine leaf disks. In particular, leaf and flower extracts showed efficacy comparable to that of copper-based fungicides, whereas stem extract was only partially active. Shoot extracts were fractionated by preparative liquid chromatography (LC), and the activity of the resulting fractions was assessed against P. viticola using leaf disk assays. Untargeted metabolomic analyses revealed putative terpenoids as the main components of the active fractions, as determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) analyses. Specifically, 7-methylrosmanol, 12-O-methylcarnosic acid, carnosic acid, and carnosol were identified as the main bioactive compounds against P. viticola.
