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
The limited availability of high-quality timber and the increasing demand for wood-based panels have encouraged the exploration of alternative and sustainable lignocellulosic resources. Rattan waste is abundant in Indonesia; however, its low mechanical strength and limited durability restrict its direct application in composite materials. This study investigated the effect of furfuryl alcohol (FA) modification and different adhesive systems on the performance of rattan-based particleboard. Rattan particles were immersed in FA for 24 h and used to produce particleboards (300 × 300 × 10 mm) bonded with phenol formaldehyde (PF), melamine formaldehyde (MF), and urea formaldehyde (UF) adhesives at a resin content of 12%. The boards were manufactured under controlled hot pressing conditions and conditioned for 14 days prior to testing. Furfurylation significantly improved dimensional stability by reducing moisture content, water absorption, thickness swelling, and leaching, with anti-swelling efficiency values ranging from 43.25% to 71.06%. Some selected mechanical properties, including internal bonding strength, hardness, and screw holding power, were also enhanced. However, the modification showed limited influence on the modulus of elasticity and, in some cases, reduced the modulus of rupture. Among the adhesive systems, MF-bonded boards exhibited the most balanced mechanical performance. Furfurylation also produced darker and more uniform board surfaces. These findings indicate that furfurylated rattan particleboards are suitable for non-structural and decorative applications.
