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
backgroundRecently, it has been proposed that psychosocial concerns may motivate the demand for aesthetic rhinoplasty. Although successful operations often improve the quality of life and self-esteem symptoms in patients with sound mental health, they may actually result in unsatisfactory outcomes in those patients with significant depression, anxiety, or other severe psychological disorders. The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of psychological disorders in patients seeking rhinoplasty.
methodsA prospective cross-sectional study of 298 random volunteers was conducted, with each participant completing a survey instrument that was administered through an internet crowd-sourcing service (Amazon Mechanical Turk). Participants were asked to complete a 10-item standardized SHNOS scale, and a 26-question PRIME-MD questionnaire in order to assess functional and aesthetic need for rhinoplasty, and the incidence of psychological disorders respectively.
results38.95% of female participants reported a willingness to undergo aesthetic rhinoplasty, with a significantly lower number of men reporting the same (27.78%,
conclusionsThose suffering from major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, or body dysmorphic disorder may seek aesthetic rhinoplasty as a solution. It is important that surgeons assess patient mental health prior to treatment in order to avoid unsuccessful outcomes secondary to psychosocial illness.
