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 present study aimed to investigate the efficacy of positron emission tomography with 18Fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG-PET/CT) for predicting malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). Methods: The records of 88 patients pathologically diagnosed with IPMN after surgery at Ehime University Hospital and Ehime Prefectural Central Hospital from April 2009 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients' characteristics, blood chemistry, and imaging examinations were evaluated as potential predictors of malignant IPMN. Of the PET/CT results, the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the tumor, the tumor-to-blood pool ratio of the SUV (TBR), and the tumor-to-liver ratio of the SUV (TLR) were compared. Results: On pathology, the diagnosis was adenoma (IPMA) in 40 patients, high-grade dysplasia (HGD) in 26 patients, and carcinoma (IPMC) in 22 patients. HGD and IPMC were defined as malignant IPMN. On multivariate analyses, TLR ≥ 1.3 and high-risk stigmata were independent predictors of malignant IPMN ( Conclusion: TLR can be a useful predictor for differentiating benign from malignant IPMN and may be associated with postoperative outcomes.
