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
Urban areas face significant challenges, including a lack of green spaces, scarce water resources, environmental pollution, and elevated heat emissions, particularly in developing countries experiencing rapid population growth. Therefore, the study aims to advance sustainable urban agriculture by designing and evaluating a solar-powered smart rooftop irrigation system for peppermint cultivation. The system incorporates two drip irrigation setups-conventional and smart irrigation-powered by photovoltaic (PV) panels. The smart system integrates real-time monitoring of critical variables, including (1) soil moisture, (2) relative humidity, (3) PV panel temperature, and (4) PV panel current and voltage. Key performance metrics such as water and energy consumption, water use efficiency, energy productivity, and carbon dioxide emissions were evaluated for both systems. In addition, the economic analysis of the smart system was determined. Results revealed that the smart system reduced water and energy consumption by 28.1% compared to conventional irrigation. Additionally, the smart system achieved a notable reduction in carbon footprint, with CO
