From Wartime Nuclear Physics to Isotope Science: George Page and the Foundations of New Zealand Mass Spectrometry.

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
The establishment of mass spectrometry in New Zealand coincided with the transition of wartime nuclear physics into civilian research applications in geochemistry, hydrology, geothermal studies, mineral resources and environmental science. George Page (1920-1967) played a central but often overlooked role in New Zealand. Drawing on wartime and post-World War II experience in isotope separation and instrumentation, Page was directly responsible for the construction of New Zealand's first operational mass spectrometer at the Dominion Physical Laboratory. Working with Athol Rafter and Gordon Fergusson, he helped establish the technical capability that supported early radiocarbon dating, stable isotope geochemistry and hydrological studies, including the identification of the post-1954 rise in atmospheric
