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 32-year-old male went to the police to claim he just killed his girlfriend by inflicting several stabs with a kitchen knife. He was very nervous and particularly aggressive. About 90 min after the assault, a blood specimen was collected with natrium fluoride as preservative. The blood was free of alcohol, pharmaceuticals and drugs of abuse, but tested positive by LC-MS/MS for metandienone (32 ng/mL) and trenbolone (9 ng/mL). The perpetrator admitted regular consumption of anabolic steroids to enhance his muscular mass, as he was a professional security agent. To document long-term steroid abuse, a hair specimen was collected 3 weeks after the assault, which tested positive for both drugs. Segmental analyses revealed in the proximal 1.5 cm segment, corresponding to the period of the assault, the simultaneous presence of metandienone (11 pg/mg) and trenbolone (14 pg/mg), while only metandienone (3 pg/mg) was identified in the distal 1.5 cm segment. As aggressiveness and violence can be associated with abuse of anabolic steroids, the aetiology of this domestic crime was listed to be due impulsive behaviour in a context of antisocial lifestyle.
