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
Castor (Ricinus communis L.) is an important oilseed crop species that demonstrates strong adaptability to saline-alkaline conditions. Early seedling development is the most vulnerable period to salinity stress during plant establishment. Cotyledons, as the earliest emerging photosynthetic organs, play a crucial role in supporting seedling establishment and contributing to salt stress tolerance. However, the effects of cotyledon removal (CR) on root adaptive strategies and physiological regulation under salt stress remain unclear. Here, the growth, root ultrastructure, ion homeostasis, antioxidant defences, and carbon-nitrogen metabolism of castor roots with the degree of CR (no cotyledon removed, NR; one cotyledon removed, OR; both cotyledons removed, TR) were measured under both salt and non-salt treatments. The results showed that CR inhibited biomass accumulation and damaged root architecture, and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that TR induced loss of root hairs and severe epidermal damage. Under saline conditions, CR had a more significant effect, leading to elevated Na
