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
purposeTo investigate the clinical and computed tomography (CT) characteristics of absorbable pulmonary solid nodules (PSNs) and to clarify CT features for distinguishing absorbable PSNs from malignant ones. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom January 2015 to February 2021, a total of 316 patients with 348 PSNs (171 absorbable and 177 size-matched malignant) were retrospectively enrolled. Their clinical and CT data were analyzed and compared to determine CT features for predicting absorbable PSNs.
resultsBetween absorbable and malignant PSNs, there were significant differences in patients' age, lesions' locations, shapes, homogeneity, borders, distance from the pleura, vacuoles, air bronchograms, lobulation, spiculation, halo sign, multiple concomitant nodules and pleural indentation (each
conclusionIn patients younger than 55 years, PSNs with homogeneous density, ill-defined border, halo sign, multiple concomitant nodules, and abutting pleura should be highly suspected as absorbable ones.
