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
introductionThe effective control of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is of paramount importance in the treatment of patients with disseminated cancer. In this study, we compared two different approaches (early pleurodesis versus late pleurodesis) to MPE. MATERIAL AND
methodsPatients (188 cases) whose primary tumor type was known and who were confirmed to have MPE, were included in the study and were separated into two groups. One group consisted of patients who were asymptomatic and who underwent early phase pleurodesis (group I,
resultsThe rate of complete success in group I cases was observed to be higher, while the rate of recurrence was lower (
conclusionsWe observed that the success rate was lower and the rate of recurrence higher in the late pleurodesis group, whose members already had greater volumes of pleural effusion.
