Sudden death due to subarachnoid bleeding from ecchordosis physaliphora.
Article in International journal of legal medicine, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Ecchordosis physaliphora (EP) is a rare intracranial mass derived from ectopic notochordal tissue. It is usually a fortuitous finding at autopsy or by computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging. Very few authors have described an EP-associated symptomatology. In this study, we report a case of the sudden and unexpected death of a 48-year-old woman. At autopsy, the cause of death was subarachnoid bleeding, the origin of which was identified as a gelatinous mass stemming from the dura mater and occupying the prepontine space. Further histological and immunohistochemical investigations allowed the diagnosis of EP.
