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
introductionThis study describes a mumps outbreak among a group of young people who shared a same narghile to smoking. Saliva and blood samples were obtained from 3cases for RT-PCR and serology respectively.
methodsThe notification of a mumps case started an epidemiological investigation. Information of other 6additional symptomatic persons who had gathered with the case in a discotheque where they smoking in a same narghile was achieved. RT-PCR positive samples were genotyped by sequencing.
resultsThe 7patients resided in 3different municipalities, and they do not have get together for more than a month until the meeting in the discotheque. Four cases were confirmed by RT-PCR and/or IgM determinations. The genomic investigation showed identical nucleic sequences.
conclusionsThis outbreak is consequence of the common use of a narghile to smoking. The public usage of these water pipes should be regulated.
