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
Appearance of endometrial carcinoma in pericardial effusion is extremely rare. Its major etiological factors include lung cancer, breast cancer, lymphoma, and leukemia. We herein report a case of a large malignant pericardial effusion 7 years after surgery for endometrial carcinoma. A 66-year-old woman who underwent modified radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and lymph node dissection for endometrial carcinoma 7 years ago and who had self-interrupted subsequent chemotherapy was presented with vertigo and vomiting. Chest computed tomography revealed pericardial effusion. Cytological examination diagnosed it as adenocarcinoma with psammoma bodies and mitoses. Immunohistochemistry analysis revealed that adenocarcinoma cells were positive for p53, p16, and insulin-like growth factor II mRNA-binding protein-3, but negative for estrogen receptor. Adenocarcinoma cells in pericardial effusion were morphologically and immunohistochemically similar to the serous carcinoma component of the surgical specimen. The appearance of psammoma bodies in cytological examination triggered the diagnosis.
