Beaver tail liver on pediatric chest X-ray.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Beaver tail liver is an anatomical liver variant presenting as elongated left lobe of liver which extends laterally to the spleen. It can present with symptoms or be detected accidentally. We present a case of a 2-year-old asymptomatic patient who was had an X-ray of the chest describing a shadow of unknown origin located left paracardial and the diagnosis of "beaver tail liver" was confirmed after a multi-slice computed tomography of thorax and abdomen was done. We give an overview of very sparse available literature on this anatomical variant while emphasizing the rarity of diagnosis in pediatric population and clinical importance of this variant.
