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 2017-2019, in a field experiment in Sahryń, Poland (50°40'42″ N, 23°47'35″ E), the effect of foliar application of various forms of silicon (calcium silicate-CS, sodium metasilicate-SM, and micronized silica-MS) and the timing of their application (at the 6-leaf stage of sugar beet, 7 and 14 days later) at single and double doses on physiological parameters, yield, and technological quality of sugar beet roots was studied. The silicon form significantly modified all assessed physiological parameters (NDVI, LAI, and PAR absorption) at all measurement dates. The application date had a significant effect on the assessed parameters at later measurement dates, while the product dose had essentially no effect. The silicon form significantly affected root yield and technological quality, with the exception of α-amino nitrogen content, biological sugar yield, and pure sugar yield. Foliar application of CS and SM resulted in the highest root yield, biological sugar yield, and pure sugar yield, as well as the highest sugar content and the lowest Na content in CS roots. The timing of foliar application significantly affected root yield, biological sugar yield, and α-amino N content. The highest root yield (88.53 t ha
