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.

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
Given the perishable nature of seafood, accurate and rapid freshness monitoring is essential for ensuring food safety and public health. In this study, a ratiometric fluorescent tag was proposed for detecting ammonia to assess seafood freshness, using D-penicillamine-capped silver/copper nanoclusters (DPA-AgCuNCs) and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) as dual-emission probes. The synthesized DPA-AgCuNCs with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties exhibited high sensitivity toward ammonia, with a limit of detection of 2.95 ppm (3σ/s). By integrating orange-emitting DPA-AgCuNCs with green-emissive FITC, the fabricated ratiometric fluorescent tag exhibited a distinct orange-to-green fluorescence transition with increasing ammonia concentration, enabling direct visual assessment of freshness. A fluorescence colour card was further established for rapid preliminary differentiation among fresh, less fresh, and spoiled samples. Convolutional neural network (CNN)-assisted image analysis was introduced as a complementary approach to improve the objectivity and consistency of freshness classification, achieving precision values of 95.24%, 100%, and 100% for fresh, less fresh, and spoiled shrimp, respectively. For on-site monitoring, the CNN was integrated into a smartphone application (FreshSense), constructing a simple platform for rapid monitoring of seafood freshness. This proof-of-concept system is rapid, on-site, and non-destructive, demonstrating its potential for practical screening in food quality and safety.
