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
A transoral endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (EUS-FNAB) is a well-established tissue-sampling method. However, performing a transanal EUS-FNAB remains challenging. Uterine morcellation has emerged as a minimally invasive approach for benign tumor treatment. However, uterine myomas are heterogeneous and include malignant and indeterminate malignant cells. We herein report a rare case of intrapelvic tumor diagnosed by a transanal EUS-FNAB as a recurrence of smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential following uterine morcellation. Physicians should be aware that a previous uterine myoma resected under morcellation has the possibility of intra-abdominal recurrence. A transanal EUS-FNAB is a practical option for making a pathological diagnosis.
