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
Dendrochronological research of panel paintings provides essential evidence for their dating and attribution. However, the uncertain interval between the tree's felling and a painting's completion, accounting for the transport, seasoning, and storage of the wood, hinders the accurate estimation of production dates. This study combines historical research with an analysis of dendrochronological data from over 1900 17th-century Dutch and Flemish panel paintings to examine the interval between tree felling and painting production, considering additional storage time at artist's workshops. Results show that panels were typically used within 4.6 to 7.5 years of felling (2.8 ± 2.5 years for French/Belgian/German, 3.4 ± 2.4 years for Polish, and 7.8 ± 1.7 years for Eastern Baltic oak). Paintings with boards from the same tree were completed within 1 to 1.8 years from each other. These findings serve to refine estimated production periods based on provenance of the wood and exact dendrochronological dates, aiding in the attribution of disputed artworks.
