Poliovirus returns to Pakistan: A rising concern.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Poliomyelitis is a completely preventable but deadly virus causing paralysis in children and in some cases, death. Pakistan is one of the only two countries where polio is still prevalent despite relentless vaccination drives. In the past two months, four cases of polio have been documented in children no older than two years, condemning them to a life of disability. This commentary explores the reasons for the recent spike in polio cases and what measures can be taken to limit the spread of the disease, especially in high-risk areas where vaccine hesitancy poses a major problem. Unless drastic measures are taken by the healthcare sector, polio will continue to be a burden on the country's economy and countless more children will fall victim to the disease.
