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: The purpose of our study was to validate the oral effervescent agent improving magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in patients with suspicious pancreatobiliary disease. Methods: One hundred and eleven consecutive patients with alleged or suspected pancreatobiliary tree problems who had undergone two-dimensional (2D) MRCP imaging both before and after oral effervescent enhancement (conventional-MRCP and enhanced-MRCP) were included. Two radiologists independently scored overall image quality, visualization of ten ductal segments, and gastroduodenal fluid signal intensity score. In consensus, they assessed the presence of gastroduodenal fluids and pancreatobiliary tree overlapping. The data were analyzed using Wilcoxon's signed-rank test, McNemar test, and paired Results: The grades of overall image quality and individual biliary duct visualization for ten targeted ductal segments, and gastroduodenal fluid signal intensity scores increased significantly on enhanced-MRCP by both readers (P≤0.02), but there was no significant increase for pancreatic duct (PD) at head and tail. On enhanced-MRCP, gastroduodenal fluids except for gastric fundus were less detected rather than those on conventional-MRCP. Anatomic structures of gastroduodenal fluids overlapping extrahepatic bile duct were mainly gastric antrum, duodenal bulb, and 2nd portion on conventional-MRCP. However, these fluids were less overlapped on enhanced-MRCP (P<0.001). Gastric body and antrum were main anatomic structures of gastroduodenal fluids overlapping PD on conventional-MRCP, and fluid in these locations significantly less overlapped PD on enhanced-MRCP (P≤0.02). Conclusions: Oral administration of effervescent agent provided effective elimination of gastroduodenal fluid overlapping pancreatobiliary ductal system at MRCP and can improve the quality of the examination in the patients with known or suspected pancreatobiliary disease.
