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
Natural ecosystem loss and deterioration in the quality of the urban environment due to rapid urbanization associated with soil pollution by mining activity have become a huge dilemma in the mining city of Lubumbashi (DR Congo). This study aimed to assess the importance attributed to trees through the expected services, species choice and their diversity in the polluted and unpolluted neighborhoods of Lubumbashi. Surveys were conducted on 178 residential plots at Penga Penga and Gécamines (polluted neighborhoods) and Kaleja and Kalebuka (unpolluted neighborhoods). In all the neighborhoods, supplying fruits, shade provision and windbreak were identified as the most expected ecosystem services (ES). Penga Penga residents tended to expect more regulating services than Gécamines, Kaleja and Kalebuka residents, who preferred more provisioning services overall. Thirty-four tree species were identified during the survey, fruiting exotic species dominated by
