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
aimTo investigate the prevalence of CE among HIV-negative persons, and determine risk factors predicting CE.
methodsBetween January 2015 and December 2018, all consecutive outpatients who underwent routine esophagogastroduodenoscopy as part of health check-ups at their own expense at the Health Check-up Center of the Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan, were recruited in this study. Those with positive HIV serology results were excluded. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics including age, gender, economic status, smoking history, alcohol consumption, tea and coffee consumption, underlying diseases, body fat percentage, body mass index, endoscopic findings, and
resultsA total of 11802 participants were included in this study. Forty-seven (0.4%) were confirmed as having CE by pathological examination. Univariate analysis identified older age, the presence of chronic kidney disease, alcohol consumption, and steroid use (
conclusionThe prevalence of CE among HIV-negative persons was 0.4% in Taiwan. Independent risk factors for CE were older age, chronic kidney disease, alcohol consumption, and steroid use.
