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
Caves, characterized by enclosed, unique, and stable environments, provide favorable conditions for fungal growth and harbor high levels of fungal diversity. Although Yunnan Province is home to more than 200 caves, studies on cave-associated fungi in this region remain scarce. To address this knowledge gap, we surveyed six accessible karst caves in the eastern, western, and southeastern Yunnan. A total of 34 fungal strains representing 17 species were isolated. Morphological characteristics and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses revealed taxonomic diversity among culturable fungi isolated from the sampled Yunnan caves, including numerous previously undescribed taxa. This study introduces one new genus (
