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
objectivesTo retrospectively review the MRI characteristics and clinic features and evaluate the effectiveness of MR imaging in differentiating intraspinal schwannomas and meningiomas, with the excised histopathologic findings as the reference standard. MATERIALS AND
methodsOne hundred and four schwannomas (M/F, 57:47) and 53 meningiomas (M/F, 13:40) underwent MR examinations before surgical treatment. Simple clinic data and imaging findings were considered:(a) location (craniocaudal and axial), (b) size, (c) morphology, (d) dural contact, (e) signal characteristics, (f) enhancement degree and patterns. The usefulness of the algorithm for differential diagnosis was examined between the two tumors.
resultsInterobserver agreement was good (κ = 0.7-0.9). Ten cases meningiomas demonstrated multiple lesions. There was a female predominance in the meningiomas (P < 0.001). Meningiomas predominantly were located in the ventral or anterolateral areas of thoracic regions, while schwannomas in the posterolateral areas of the thoracic and the lumbar regions (P < 0.001). Mean size of the lesions was 1.47 ± 0.36 cm for meningioma, and 2.02 ± 1.13 cm for schwannoma (P < 0.001). A dumbbell shape with intervertebral foramen widening could detect schwannomas, while the "dural tail sign" did meningiomas (P < 0.001). Hypointense and miscellaneous signal implied meningioma on T
conclusionsCombination of clinic data and MRI performs significantly for differentiating between intraspinal meningiomas and schwannomas.
