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
BACKGROUND Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTL-NT) is difficult to distinguish from nasal polyps and inverted papilloma, leading to its high misdiagnosis ratio. The aim of this study was to investigate its potential prognostic indicators. MATERIAL AND METHODS Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate overall survival (OS) rate. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to analyze risk ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Nasal ala infiltration and nasal floor thickness >2.0 mm or nasal septum thickness >2.5 mm were potential prognostic factors for OS (p=0.0323 and 0.0072, respectively). Cox proportional-hazards regression indicated that high LMP1 expression and the nasal floor thickness >2.0 mm or nasal septum thickness >2.5 mm were the independent risk factors for poor OS of ENKTL-NT (HR=3.0655, p=0.028; HR=2.3650, p=0.0452, respectively). In the subgroup analysis, the OS rate was lower when the nasal floor thickness >2.0 mm or nasal septum thickness >2.5 mm in the patients who had high expression of LMP1 (p=0.0651), whereas high LMP1 expression increased the risk of worse prognostic outcome in patients with deep infiltration thickness. Thus, high LMP1 expression may contribute to the tissue invasion of ENKTL-NT. CONCLUSIONS Any patient with nasal ala soft-tissue invasion, nasal floor thickness >2.0 mm/nasal septum thickness >2.5 mm on CT imaging or high LMP1 expression should prompt immediate histopathologic diagnosis to rule out ENKTL-NT in clinical practice.
