1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 study investigates the effectiveness of caffeine and tannin as alternative preservatives for oriented strand board (OSB) panels, focusing on their leaching, fungal decay resistance, and fire performance. Untreated, caffeine-treated, tannin-treated, and industrial reference panels were subjected to standard tests of these performance features. The leaching results indicated that the caffeine-treated panels retained a similar level of chemical content and exhibited lower mass loss after leaching compared to the tannin-treated panels, suggesting a higher concentration of caffeine remained in the panels following the leaching test. Both caffeine and tannin treatments significantly reduced fungal decay caused by
