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
"Agricultural irrigation with contaminated water poses a major risk to food security and public health. This study examined contaminant transfer across the water-soil-plant continuum in sugarcane crops irrigated with water from the Cauca River, Colombia. Microbial community composition was characterized using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, while pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) in irrigation water and sugarcane plants were quantified by UHPLC-MS/MS. Microbial analyses revealed a potential biological pathway of microorganisms from water and soil into plant endophytic tissues. Bacterial diversity decreased markedly, from more than 400 genera identified in water and soil to only 64 genera detected within endophytic tissues. Nine potentially pathogenic genera-including Escherichia-Shigella, Pseudomonas, and Bacillus- were found across all matrices, suggesting microbial internalization. Bioinformatic predictions indicated the presence of genes associated with virulence traits (e.g., antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation) as well as beneficial functions such as nitrogen fixation and phosphate solubilization. In parallel, high concentrations of PhACs were detected in irrigation water, including valsartan (up to 1309 ng L⁻
