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
objectiveThe objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of Yttrium-90 (Y-90) radiation synovectomy in decreasing the recurrent bleeding episodes in hemophilic joints. SUBJECTS AND
methodsA retrospective analysis of patients who had Y-90 synovectomy from January 2001 to January 2016 was done. Among them, patients with minimum follow-up of 6 months were selected. The response in terms of decrease in the number of bleeding episodes was evaluated.
resultsA total of 167 patients (243 joints) with hemophilia had radiation synovectomy over 15 years. Those with a minimum follow-up of 6 months were 155 joints (115 patients). The age ranged from 5 to 43 years and included 113 male and two female patients. Data for 11 joints were unavailable as these patients were lost to follow-up. The assessment of response for the remaining 144 joints was done based on the data available for different follow-up periods. They were divided into the following - 7 months to 2 years (89 joints), 3-5 years (6 joints), 6-10 years (39 joints), and above 11 years (10 joints). Overall, 37.4% of the joints had complete response, 56% had partial response, and 6% of the joints had no response.
conclusionRadiation synovectomy is a noninvasive and effective modality which decreases the bleeding episodes in hemophiliac joints and improves the quality of life remarkably.
