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
Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) is a potentially fatal complication after long-term peritoneal dialysis, and tamoxifen can be used for its prevention and treatment. However, tamoxifen is known to increase the risk of venous thromboembolism. A 49-year-old woman was admitted with sudden abdominal pain. The patient had received peritoneal dialysis for 20 years and switched to hemodialysis after the diagnosis of EPS. Tamoxifen (10mg) and prednisolone (20mg) had been administered for 8 months. On computed tomography, the left hepatic lobe was hardly illuminated, leading to a diagnosis of liver infarction. A month later, she was re-admitted due to abdominal pain and extensive deep vein thrombosis of the leg. The administration of tamoxifen was stopped and prednisolone was reduced to 10mg. As her malnutrition progressed, she succumbed to death of gram negative sepsis. The patient was concluded to have liver infarction and extensive venous thrombosis as a side effect of tamoxifen.
