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
backgroundPeptic ulcer disease (PUD) remains one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal diseases and has been linked to
aimsTo determine the correlation between the endoscopic and pathological findings among suspected PUD patients who have been referred for diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in National Hospital Abuja.
methodsThis is a hospital-based prospective study conducted among suspected PUD patients at National Hospital Abuja over a one-year period. Clinical, endoscopic, and histological findings were ascertained and documented. Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 21.0. Tests of significance were done using the chi-square test and Student
resultsOne hundred and thirty-two patients were included in the study. The ages ranged from 15 to 87 years, mean age 43.30 ± 11.94 years. Seventy-seven (58.3%) patients had abnormal endoscopic findings, of whom 37 (28.0%) had PUD. Prevalence of
