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
The objective of this study is to assess standardized histograms of signal intensities of T2-weighted magnetic resonance image (MRI) modality before and after preoperative chemotherapy for nephroblastoma (Wilms' tumor). All analyzed patients are enrolled in the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP) 2001/GPOH trial.1 The question to be answered is whether the comparison of the histograms can add new knowledge by comparing them with the histology of the tumor after preoperative chemotherapy. Twenty-three unilateral nephroblastoma cases were analyzed. All patients were examined by MRI before and after preoperative chemotherapy treatment. T2 modalities of the MRIs were selected, and histogram changes were compared to histopathological data available after surgery. Of the 23 tumors, 22 decreased in volume following chemotherapy (median -57.99%; range 15.65 to -90.82%). The preliminary results suggest that standardized histograms of signal intensities of T2 MRI in nephroblastoma is not predicting histopathological diagnostic information and has no implications for the clinical assessment for further chemotherapy.
