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
While many studies addressed the outcome of adult ALL in developed Western countries, there is paucity of such prospective studies from developing Mediterranean ones. This is a prospective cohort study conducted at Hiwa Cancer Hospital in Sulaimani city and Nanakali Hospital in Erbil city-Kurdistan Iraq from March 2012 to August 2017. The main characteristics of adult ALL patients, type of therapy and risk factors were analyzed to assess their impact on treatment outcome and survival status. A total of 109 adult ALL patients were included with a median age of 24 years and male to female ratio of 1.7:1. B-ALL accounted for 76.1% of the cases, while the rest were T-ALL. BCR-ABL rearrangement was encountered in 12% of B-ALL. Complete remission (CR) rate was 81.7%, the overall 5 year survival (OS) was 38%, Relapse Free 5 year Survival (RFS) was 49%. Younger adults (< 35 years) had significantly higher CR rates and OS compared to the older group (
