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
ObjectiveTo investigate short-term diffusion tensor imaging-derived changes in the knee physis after whole-body vibration and to assess postural stability in healthy adolescents.MethodsThis prospective, single-arm, within-subject exploratory study included 48 healthy adolescents (24 males and 24 females; mean age, 11.94 ± 2.31 years) who underwent a 1-week whole-body vibration protocol (15 Hz, 5 mm amplitude). Fractional anisotropy and apparent diffusion coefficient values of the distal femoral and proximal tibial physes were measured before and after whole-body vibration using knee diffusion tensor imaging. Postural stability was evaluated using force plate center-of-pressure parameters. Paired comparisons were performed for the overall cohort and sex-stratified subgroups, and age- and bone age-related trends were explored using quadratic regression models.ResultsIn the overall cohort, fractional anisotropy increased in both the distal femoral physis (0.472 ± 0.074 to 0.515 ± 0.070; mean change, 0.043; Cohen's dz = 0.737; p < 0.001) and the proximal tibial physis (0.486 ± 0.063 to 0.527 ± 0.067; mean change, 0.041; Cohen's dz = 0.897; p < 0.001). Apparent diffusion coefficient decreased in the distal femoral physis (1.171 ± 0.230 to 1.081 ± 0.160 × 10
