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
Intestinal diffuse ganglioneuromatosis is a rare, benign, neoplastic condition characterized by disseminated proliferation of neural elements. It has an established association with several systemic disorders including: multiple endocrine neoplasia IIB (MEN IIB) and von Recklinghausen's disease. However, isolated GNs are very rare and sporadic. We report a case of a 6-year-old patient was referred to the emergency department due to a colon perforation during endoscopy. He then underwent sigmoidectomy and the pathologic studies revealed prominent signs of diffuse ganglioneuromatosis. Unfortunately, the patient died the day after because of the late diagnosis and treatment. Such presentation emphasizes the importance of considering diffuse ganglioneuromatosis, among other causes, in patients with intractable GI symptoms despite medical treatment.
