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
Inferior vena cava (IVC) aneurysms rarely occur. They are commonly detected incidentally since they present with mild or no symptoms. This was the first study to report a fatal case of a saccular IVC aneurysm with pulmonary embolism and cerebral infarction. The patient developed cardiac arrest five minutes after arriving at the emergency department, and spontaneous circulation was restored after two minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Computed tomography scans of the brain, chest, and abdomen-pelvis were obtained. The patient was diagnosed with a saccular aneurysm of the IVC measuring 8 × 11 cm, massive embolism of both pulmonary arteries, and cerebral infarction. An electroencephalogram, taken on the third day of hospitalization, suggested brain death, and the patient died on the eleventh day of hospitalization. This case report highlights that an IVC aneurysm with pulmonary embolism can be associated with paradoxical emboli-induced cerebral infarction, which is fatal.
