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
backgroundSelf-inflicted burn (SIB) is an important social and medical problem in the world. However, the evidence is limited to the reasons and experiences of women who committed SIB.
objectiveTo explore in-depth reasons and experiences of self-inflicted burn among women aged 15-45 years, in Baghdad city, Iraq. METHODOLOGY: The study was conducted among 30 participants, recruited from six different hospitals where the participants were treated. Maximum variation opportunistic sampling technique was used to select the participants, taking into account participants' variation in age, socioeconomic, and marital status. Data were collected through face to face semi-structured interviews. Each interview session was audio-recorded and supported by field notes. Content analysis was conducted using Max QDA 10 software.
resultsWe identified four major categories of problems leading to SIB. These were related to the personal, social, economic and family situation of the study subjects. Of these, the main factors mentioned by all participants' family pressure, unstable environment, and poor mental health.
