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
This study examined the influence of malting conditions on the quality of finger millet (Eleusine coracana, Mecha variety) malt and its brewing potential. A 3 × 3 × 3 factorial design was applied, varying germination temperature (20-30 °C), germination time (2-4 days), and curing temperature (70-90 °C). The malts were characterized by germination energy, enzyme activity, protein and tannin content, as well as brewing performance indicators including diastatic power and hot water extract. Through the interaction of 30 °C germination temperature and 4-day duration meeting international malting standards. Higher germination temperatures and longer durations improved enzyme activity and modification, though accompanied by greater weight loss (20.3-24.5%) and reduced moisture (2.1-4.5%). Wort analysis yielded hot water extract values of 77.7-90.7% (dry basis), with upper values surpassing EBC standards, suggesting possible over-modification under certain treatments. These findings demonstrate finger millet's suitability as an alternative brewing raw material and support its potential for commercial millet-based beer production in Ethiopia and beyond.
