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
Thromboembolic complications are rare but well-recognized manifestation of ulcerative colitis, especially because of their associated high mortality. We report a case of a Syrian child admitted to Damascus Hospital with a one-day complaint of sudden onset of numbness followed by weakness in the left lower and upper limbs, right mouth angle deviation, and loss of sphincters' control. Earlier, she was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and treated with immunosuppressants. CT and MRI scans revealed focal infarction around the M2-M3 segments of the right middle cerebral artery; she was treated with Aspirin. On discharge, she had significant improved neurological examination and was able to walk. Subsequent proctocolectomy was performed. We highlight the importance of thromboembolism in ulcerative colitis as there is paucity in the literature regarding its management and its symptoms may be overlooked especially in high-load central hospitals. We conducted a brief literature search and summarized findings of similar reported cases.
