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
Objectives: The differential diagnosis of pleural effusion (PE) is a common but major challenge in clinical practice. This study aimed to establish a strategy based on a PE-cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation detection system for the differential diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) and benign pleural effusion (BPE). Methods: A total of 104 patients with PE were enrolled in this study, among which 50 patients had MPE, 9 malignant tumor patients had PE of indefinite causes, and the other 45 patients were classified as benign controls. The methylation status of short stature homeobox 2 ( Results: The PE-cfDNA methylation status of either Conclusions: Our results indicated that
