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
objectiveTo analyze the reasons for seeking emergency medical care amongst prison inmates and their relationship to sociodemographic characteristics. MATERIAL AND
methodAn observational, descriptive and retrospective study was carried out. We collected the sociodemographic variables of inmates and their healthcare needs at the referral hospital over nine years.
resultsA total of 972 hospital visits were included. The most common healthcare needs, in descending order, were multiple trauma, limb problems and dyspnea. Mondays and Wednesdays were found to be the busiest days (P <0.001). The average stay in cases of hospitalization was 6.1 (SD: 4.3) days; patients with nontraumatic healthcare needs required a longer stay. The majority of the inmates native to Africa, Asia and America received emergency healthcare services due to traumatic injuries; by contrast the most common injuries among Europeans were non-traumatic and unrelated to suicide attempts (P <0.001). European inmates were on average 4.2 years older than Africans and 4.7 years older than American inmates (P <0.001). DISCUSSION: The reasons for seeking emergency care are clearly differentiated according to the inmates' nationality, one notable outcome was the greater longevity of European internees. These results highlight the importance of understanding healthcare demand within the prison system in order to better address considerations such as prevention, organization and the location of healthcare units.
