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 77-year-old patient with ulcerative colitis (UC) was transferred to our department because of worsening bloody diarrhea and abdominal pain, which was consistent with a UC flare. Two days after admission, she complained of cough and high fever. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was positive, and a computed tomography showed pneumonia in the left lobe, consistent with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. However, frequent bloody diarrhea and abdominal pain due to the UC flare persisted; therefore, an additional immunosuppressive agent needed to be considered. We initiated infliximab biosimilar (IFX-BS), and her abdominal symptoms improved. However, they deteriorated after the second IFX-BS infusion. After confirming that the patient was negative for SARS-CoV-2 by PCR, we administered a combination of azathioprine and IFX-BS. The combination treatment improved her intestinal symptoms without worsening COVID-19 pneumonia. She has remained in remission for over a year since her discharge.
