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
Continuous erythropoietin receptor activator (C.E.R.A.) is an innovative erythropoiesis-stimulating agent with unique erythropoietin receptor activity and a prolonged half-life. C.E.R.A. is currently in development for the correction of anemia and stable hemoglobin (Hb) control at extended administration intervals in patients with cancer who are receiving chemotherapy. The purpose of this pharmacological study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) and safety profiles of C.E.R.A. administered subcutaneously once every 3 weeks (Q3W) in lung cancer patients with anemia induced by chemotherapy. This open-label, multicenter study recruited 46 patients. Entry Hb levels were not more than 11.0 g/dl. Five dose levels of C.E.R.A. (2.1, 4.2, 6.3, 9 and 12 μg/kg) were tested in sequential cohorts of 8-11 patients for 12 weeks. The mean values for C.E.R.A half-life ranged from 143 to 247 h. The maximum serum concentration (C(max)) following the first administration of C.E.R.A. increased in proportion to the dose. The increase of Hb levels occurred in a dose-dependent manner. No serious adverse events reported as being related to C.E.R.A. were observed during the study period. Thrombovascular events were not observed in any patient. Anti-C.E.R.A antibodies were not detected in any patient. Thus, this pharmacological study confirmed the long half-life of C.E.R.A., thereby supporting subcutaneous administration of C.E.R.A. at the Q3W interval. PK and PD parameters demonstrated dose-proportionality over the range of doses tested in this study. Additionally, C.E.R.A. was generally well tolerated.
