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
introductionEarly assessment of the pyramidal tracts is important for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients in order to decide the optimal treatment or to assess appropriate rehabilitation strategies, and management of patient expectations and goals. The purpose of this study was to systematically review and summarize the current available literature on the value of Fractional Anisotropy (FA) parameter of the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in predicting upper extremity (UE) motor recovery after subacute ICH.
methodsPubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane CENTRAL searches were conducted from 1 January 1950 to 31 March 2016 which were supplemented with relevant articles identified in the references. Pooled estimate using correlation between DTI parameter FA and UE motor recovery was done using comprehensive meta-analysis software.
resultsOut of 97 citations, only eight studies met the criteria for inclusion in the systematic review and six studies were included in the meta-analysis. A random effects model revealed that DTI parameter FA is a significant predictor for UE motor recovery after subacute ICH (correlation coefficient = 0.56; 95 % confidence interval 0.44 to 0.65, P value <0.001). However, moderate heterogeneity was observed between the studies (Tau-squared = 0.28, I-squared = 70.3).
conclusionThe studies reported so far on correlation between FA parameter of DTI and UE motor recovery in ICH patients are few with small sample sizes. This meta-analysis suggests a strong correlation between DTI parameter FA and UE motor recovery in ICH patients. Further well-designed prospective studies embedded with larger sample size are needed to confirm these findings.
