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
The pathophysiology of transient global amnesia (TGA) is still uncertain. In the province of Ferrara (Fe-province), Italy, given the health organization and the alarming clinical features, the cases of TGA in the resident population virtually correspond to the resident outpatients diagnosed as TGA cases in the ER of the University Hospital of Ferrara. Thanks to this, a retrospective survey identified 35 (14 men, 21 women) first-ever TGA cases in the resident population in 2018 (346,975 inhabitants) giving a crude incidence rate of 10.10/100,000 (95% CI 7.00-14.00), 8.40/100,000 (95% CI 4.60-14.10) for men, and 11.60/100,000 (95% CI 7.20-17.80) for women, a non-significant gender difference. The incident cases of TGA were evenly distributed according to both season and month. The monthly cases of TGA followed the Poisson distribution (goodness-of-fit test: λ = 2.9, χ
