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 thickened peroneus brevis tendon has been considered to be an important morphologic parameter of peroneus brevis tendinitis (PBT). Previous researchers have found that the peroneus brevis tendon thickness (PBTT) is correlated with inflammation of the peroneus brevis tendon. However, inflammatory hypertrophic change is different from simple thickness. Thus, we devised the peroneus brevis tendon cross-sectional area (PBTCSA) as a new diagnostic parameter to analyze the hypertrophy of the whole PBT. We assumed that the PBTCSA is a major morphologic parameter useful for early PBT diagnosis. Peroneus brevis tendon images were collected from 22 patients with PBT and from 22 normal subjects who underwent ankle-magnetic resonance imaging and revealed no evidence of PBT. The T1-weighted axial ankle-magnetic resonance imaging images were evaluated at the ankle level from all participants. The PBTT was measured as the thickest point at the transverse image of the peroneus brevis tendon. The PBTCSA was measured as the cross-sectional ligament whole area of the peroneus brevis tendon that was most hypertrophied in the axial A-MR images. The average PBTT was 2.22 ± 0.29 mm in the normal group and 2.85 ± 0.36 mm in the PBT group. The average PBTCSA was 6.98 ± 1.54 mm2 in the normal group and 13.11 ± 2.45 mm2 in the PBT group. PBT patients had significantly greater PBTT (P < .001) and PBTCSA (P < .001) than the normal group did. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that the most suitable cutoff value of the PBTT was 2.51 mm, with 81.8% sensitivity and 81.8% specificity, and an AUC for the score was 0.93. The most suitable cutoff value of the PBTCSA was 10.08 mm2, with 90.9% sensitivity and 90.9% specificity, and AUC for the score was 0.98. Even though the PBTT and PBTCSA were both significantly associated with PBT, the PBTCSA was a more sensitive diagnostic parameter.
