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
Bile acids have many roles in biological systems, and they have received great attention recently. Bile from a cow, known as gall, together with garlic, wine, and leeks, is used in the traditional medicine recipe of Bald's Leechbook, a thousand-year-old Anglo-Saxon formula for the treatment of infected eyelash follicles. Different aspects of previous works on bile acids have been reported, and this work adds antiviral, virucidal, and antibacterial properties of bile acids and their salts against SARS-CoV-2. Four bile acids, lithocholic acid (LCA, 1), deoxycholic acid (DCA, 5), ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA, 9), and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA, 13), were used to form salts with l-carnitine [X], creatinine [Y], and choline [Z], which are naturally occurring compounds. Bile acids and their salts were evaluated for antiviral and virucidal activities against SARS-CoV-2 as well as for their antibacterial properties. Among the bile acids tested, LCA (1) was found to display virucidal activity against SARS-CoV-2 with an EC
