Article in Turkish journal of urology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravesical instillation of hyaluronic acid/chondroitin sulfate in the treatment of refractory painful bladder syndrome. MATERIAL AND
methodsForty patients were subjected to intravesical instillations of hyaluronic acid/chondroitin sulfate weekly for 4 weeks and at 6., 8., 12. and 16. weeks, afterwards. Then we evaluated the efficacy of this treatment modality by determining the mean changes in visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score, the pelvic pain and urgency/frequency questionnaire, the O'Leary-Sant interstitial cystitis symptoms index/problems index and 3 day-voiding diary results including daily number of voids and mean voided volume at 2 weeks, 3, and 9 months after the last dose (4
resultsThirty-seven patients (6 males 16.2%, 31 females 83.8%) completed the entire follow-up protocol of this study. Age of the patients ranged from 22 to 37 years (mean, 30.7±4.18 years) and their body mass indexes (BMIs) ranged between 29 and 37 kg/m
conclusionIntravesical instillation with both hyaluronic acid/chondroitin sulfate in the treatment of refractory painful bladder syndrome is safe, effective and well tolerated by all patients with no recorded side effects.
