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
So far, space exploration has attracted increasing scientific interest due to the growth of missions promoted by private investment, such as SpaceX, Boeing, Blue Origin, and the recent attention generated by astronomical phenomena such as 3I/ATLAS. However, access to space experimentation remains limited and expensive. For this reason, new approaches to simulate space conditions on Earth are being developed to broaden research opportunities bio-inspired by plant responses to phototropism and geotropism. In this context, Betta Aerospace has continued the development of a microgravity simulation system consisting of a 3-axis clinostat powered by a single motor, continuous external electrical supply, and, in this project, a continuous external liquid supply. The proposed pioneer system was designed as a flexible platform manufactured through reinforced 3D printing, with an approximate size of 30 cm, an estimated payload of 30 kg, and a 24 V supply. Its main goal is to study the effects of simulated microgravity on aquatic organisms while enabling longer observation times in a controlled freshwater environment.
