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
'Ulcero-membranous lesions over tonsil' is a special entity, which puzzles every physician and surgeon because of it's diverse etiology. Every insult to the tonsil heals by ulcer and later membrane formation. A retrospective study has been conducted at our institute to analyse the cases of ulcero-membranous lesions of tonsil in terms of etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment protocols and outcome in an Indian context. Diphtheria, if not detected early and treated, can lead to significant morbidity and mortality because of critical complications. Diphtheria mainly affects children aged between 1 and 5 years, however, due to good vaccine coverage, a shift in age incidence has been observed from preschool to school age (5-15 years) with more and more cases now being reported in adults. The health agencies and the government will have to take maximum efforts to increase immunization coverage as India has witnessed the highest number of cases in the world for the year 2015.
