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
Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome, a rare complication of pelvic inflammatory disease, is an inflammation of the liver capsule (thus called perihepatitis) and the surrounding peritoneum. It occurs extremely rarely in men and is typically characterized by a sudden onset of severe pain in the right upper abdominal quadrant. Ultrasound examination of the liver does not reveal any morphologic changes, and liver function tests are usually normal. Computerized tomography shows the thickening of the perihepatic fat, but definitive diagnosis is only possible by direct visualization by laparoscopy or laparotomy. We present a 33-year-old HIV-positive man with
