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
Purpose: The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided iodine-125 ( Material and methods: From January 2011 to June 2020, 13 patients were selected for this retrospective study. Thirteen tumors (27.46 ±12.07 mm) were treated with EUS-guided Results: Complete response (CR) was observed in one tumor in 6 months. Partial response (PR) was detected in two target tumors in 3 months, seven in 6 months, seven in 9 months, and six in 12 months. Good periods of survival were observed. The median OS was 35 months, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 8.97 to 61.03 months. The 1-, 2-, and 5-year OS rates were 100%, 67.5%, and 11.3%, respectively. There were no procedure-related deaths or serious adverse events. Transient abdominal pain (5 cases, 17.2%), abdominal distension and loss of appetite (3 cases, 10.3%), and seed migration (1 case, 3.4%) were observed, respectively. Conclusions: In selected patients with inoperable AC, EUS-guided
