Epstein-Barr Virus-Associated Smooth Muscle Tumors of Larynx: A Clinicopathologic Study and Comprehensive Literature Review of 12 Cases.
Review in Head and neck pathology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Laryngeal mesenchymal neoplasms are rare, with smooth muscle tumors comprising a small subset. Specifically, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated smooth muscle tumors are exceptionally rare, lacking a comprehensive evaluation of their clinical and histologic features. Two patients (a 59 year old male and 51 year old female) had received renal transplants 156 and 240 months, respectively prior to onset of laryngeal symptoms. Supraglottic polypoid masses were identified and removed conservatively. Histologically, the tumors were hypercellular, showing alternating light and dark areas, the latter composed of primitive appearing round cells, while a more characteristic spindled tumor cell population was noted in the remaining areas. Cytoplasmic vacuoles were noted adjacent to the nucleus. There was no tumor necrosis or pleomorphism, but increased mitotic figures (11-12/2 mm
