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
In order to investigate the effect of coating with aloe vera gel (100%), different levels of fennel and lime peel essential oil (0, 500, and 1000 ppm) on some qualitative and microbial characteristics of eggs at refrigerated temperature (5°C) during three storage periods (1, 15, and 30 days), an experiment was conducted as a factorial in a completely randomized design with three replications. During the storage period, the weight loss (%), Haugh unit, shell thickness, albumen and yolk pH, albumen foam production and total bacterial count were investigated. The results showed that the highest weight after 30 days of storage, the highest weight loss was observed in the control (4.81%), whereas all coated treatments showed significantly lower weight loss (3.35%-3.36%). The highest Haugh unit values were recorded in the treatments coated with aloe vera gel containing 1000 ppm fennel essential oil (65.74) and 1000 ppm lime peel essential oil (65.40), whereas the lowest value was observed in the control (54.17). The highest pH of egg white and yolk was observed in the control compared to other experimental treatments on days 15 and 30. Shell thickness was not affected by the experimental treatments (
