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
Carcinoid tumors in the ear canal are very rare. In this report, we experienced a case of carcinoid tumor of the ear canal that underwent total tumor resection. This study included a 39-year-old man presented with a chief complaint of right-sided hearing loss. Computed tomography scan showed a shadow from the ear canal to the right tympanic chamber. There were no suspicious findings of metastasis in the cervical lymph nodes or other organs. At the time of surgery, the tumor was simply removed because it was small and there was no adhesive invasion. Postoperatively, the patient has been under observation for 11.5 years without any recurrence. Carcinoid tumors in the ear canal can rarely metastasize or recur after more than 10 years. It is important to follow up with the patient for a long time after surgery, using the Ki-67 index of the removed tissue as a prognostic reference.
