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
Tamoxifen is used for male infertility and nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA). Although thrombosis complication of tamoxifen on the treatment of breast cancer has been reported repeatedly, there was no literature about the thrombosis complication of tamoxifen treatment on NOA. A 32-year-old man was admitted to hospital for severe swelling of left lower limb, with difficulty walking. He had been diagnosed with NOA 5 months ago and had been taking tamoxifen 20 mg daily for 4 months continuously. After admission, the patient was finally diagnosed of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with elevated D-dimer level and Doppler ultrasound of the deep venous system. After a series of effective treatments, especially the operation of percutaneous venous thromboembolism aspiration, the patient recovered rapidly and the abnormal laboratory results of coagulopathy returned to normal. Clinicians should warn about the possibility of thromboembolic complications with tamoxifen when treating male infertility.
