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
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an uncommon multiorgan disorder that may present many and different manifestations on imaging. Radiology plays an important role in diagnosis and management, and can substantially improve the clinical outcome of TSC. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of this disease is essential for the radiologist. The manifestations of TSC on computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images were analyzed. Eleven patients with a clinical diagnosis of TSC were retrospectively reviewed. Central nervous system lesions included subependymal nodules (SENs) (11/11), subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGAs) (2/11), cortical and subcortical tuber lesions (5/11), and white matter lesions (4/11). Of the 6 patients with abdominal scans, there were 6 cases of renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs), and one case of hepatic AMLs. Of the 4 patients undergoing chest CT, lung lymhangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) (2/4), and multiple small sclerotic bone lesions (2/4) were observed. Different modalities show different sensitivity to the lesion. Analysis of images should be integrated with patients' history in order to diagnose TSC.
