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
Diagnostic utility of fluorescence microscopy for lanthanum phosphate deposition in the gastrointestinal mucosa has not been reported previously. In this study, we comparatively assessed the light, electron, and fluorescence microscopy features of gastroduodenal lanthanum phosphate deposition in 10 patients with deposits in the stomach and 5 patients with deposits in the duodenum. During light microscopy, lanthanum deposits were observed as dark-brown, needle-shaped, or crystalloid structures and pale red amorphous materials. During electron microscopy, the deposited material appeared as bright aggregates. Fluorescence microscopy also revealed lanthanum deposits as bright areas under green, red, and blue filters. The deposits were more easily recognizable on electron and fluorescence microscopy than on light microscopy. Furthermore, during fluorescence microscopy, the green filter provided the most clear visualization of lanthanum phosphate. In conclusion, fluorescence microscopy with a green filter is useful in determining the degree and extent of lanthanum deposition in the gastroduodenal mucosa.
