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
A 27-year-old man with a past medical history of Crohn's disease presented in the Emergency Department complaining of right hip pain that has been going on for one month. At presentation, the patient was tachycardic. Physical examination revealed a positive psoas sign. Laboratory tests showed elevated white blood cells, C-reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis revealed ileo-psoas fistula and psoas abscess. This rare case aims to provide awareness that intra-abdominal pathology should always be suspected in patients with referred hip pain and Crohn's disease. A thorough physical examination including maneuvers for assessment of possible iliopsoas inflammation should be effectively performed at the bedside to determine the likelihood of the condition and proper imaging should follow to confirm the diagnosis.
