Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis Presenting as Low Back Pain.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare condition characterized by the presence of fibrous inflammatory tissue in the retroperitoneal structures, such as the infrarenal great vessels and ureters. We are reporting an atypical case of an alcoholic who presented with chronic back pain and abnormal liver function tests. Abdominal imaging revealed an incidental, ill-defined, abnormal soft tissue mass in the left pelvis and mild to moderate left hydroureteronephrosis. Interventional radiology (IR)-guided core biopsy reported cores of dense fibrous tissue with extensive lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates, consistent with idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis (IRF). The patient had a left ureteral stent placed and, subsequently, had robotic surgery for ureteral reimplantation.
