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
Background & objectives: Gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a common marginal zone lymphoma. The stomach is the relatively common origin of the MALT lymphoma, now termed as extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma. Gastric MALT lymphoma has good prognosis due to clinical response to treatment and favourable overall survival. In this study, clinical characteristics and treatment of patients of early gastric MALT lymphoma were retrospectively analysed. Methods: Seventy patients with stages I-II MALT-lymphoma treated from April 2003 to August 2015 were included. The most common symptoms were abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting and other digestive symptoms. Helicobacter pylori eradication was done in patients with proven H. pylori infection. Patients in whom H. pylori eradication therapy was not effective, alternative treatments options including chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery, were given. Results: Fifty two patients with H. pylori infection underwent anti-H. pylori therapy, the total effective rate of anti-H. pylori treatment was 92.3 per cent (48/52). Thirty two patients were given anti-tumour treatment, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. The total effective rate was 90.6 per cent (29/32). The five-year overall survival rate and five-year progression-free survival rate were 93.4 and 84.2 per cent, respectively. Interpretation & conclusions: For patients with early gastric MALT lymphoma, anti-H. pylori treatment may be effective. Patients with poor results of anti-H. pylori treatment need to be treated with anti-tumour therapy.
