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
We report a case of a 15-year old boy who was managed as a case of B cell lymphoblastic leukaemia with the modified BFM 90 protocol. During the induction phase, he developed febrile neutropenia with sino-pulmonary fungal infection confirmed on histopathology. He developed left sided hemiparesis during in-hospital management of febrile neutropenia. Neuroimaging revealed 9.6 × 8.4 mm round well defined aneurysm arising from right cortical artery in distal middle cerebral artery territory. He underwent fronto-temporo-parietal craniectomy with evacuation of the hematoma and excision of the aneurysm. Histopathological examination of excised aneurysmal specimen grew same species of fungus as was cultured from nasal scraping. He recovered fully in next 6 months with minimal residual focal neurological deficits. Presently he is in maintenance phase chemotherapy. We presented this case to illustrate a rare complication of ALL therapy with mycotic aneurysm secondary to invasive fungal infection treated successfully.
