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
Sweet potato is a nutrient-dense crop with the potential to improve food security, yet its productivity is constrained by drought stress. Metabolic profiling in sweet potato, particularly in response to abiotic stress, remains poorly understood, with limited knowledge on the metabolites contributing to drought response. The study aimed to profile and compare metabolites in drought-tolerant (cv Atacama) and drought-susceptible (cv Blesbok) sweet potato cultivars under water-deficient conditions. The cultivars were grown in a rainout shelter during the 2024 growing season at the Agricultural Research Council-Vegetable and Industrial Medicinal Plant (ARC-VIMP). The trial was laid out in a randomized block design with a plot size of 242 m squared with three drought treatment conditions, i.e., 30%, 50%, and 70% field capacity (FC). After two weeks of drought stress imposition, leaf samples were collected and analyzed for metabolite changes using untargeted ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). Using chemometrics analysis, mainly using principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), significant separation was shown between the three drought stress conditions and the two cultivars, highlighting variable metabolic accumulation. Ten significantly regulated metabolites were identified (VIP > 1,
