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
Kangkong (Ipomoea reptans Poir) is widely consumed in Southeast Asia and possesses pivotal health benefits. Microgreen kangkong can be a potential alternative to meet nutritional requirements as it contains higher concentrations of bioactive compounds than mature plants. The study aimed to determine the effect of the ratio of maltodextrin and gum Arabic as encapsulants on the physicochemical characteristics of microgreen kangkong extract microcapsules. Encapsulation is applied to protect certain substances, including bioactive compounds, resulting in their good stability and bioavailability. Microgreen kangkong extract was encapsulated using the freeze-drying technique with varying concentration ratios between maltodextrin and gum arabic 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, and 20:80. The results showed that the increase in gum arabic concentration provided better chemical characteristics; however, this resulted in high water content. Extract with a concentration of maltodextrin and gum arabic 20:80 exhibited the foremost chemical characteristics than other treatments, with solubility, encapsulation efficiency, total phenol, total flavonoid, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity of 97.35%, 86.85%, 82.70 mg GAE/10 g microcapsules, 43.42 mg QE/10 g microcapsules, 0.38 M/10 g microcapsules, and IC
