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
Introduction: The diagnostic and therapeutic approach to axillary lymph nodes is considered indispensable in the treatment of breast cancer patients. Aim: To investigate the effectiveness of 3D freehand SPECT (fhSPECT) in sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in breast cancer, compared with the use of a conventional gamma probe. Material and methods: We retrospectively compared the fhSPECT lymph node mapping modality, with gamma probe detection in early-stage, clinically node-negative breast cancer patients, with biopsy-confirmed malignancy. The two techniques were compared based on the average number of LNs excised per axilla. The duration of SLN mapping was also compared between the two groups. The performance of the two methods on obese and post-systemic therapy patients was evaluated. FhSPECT was used in 150 cases, while the gamma probe was employed in 50 cases. Results: FhSPECT detected at least 3 nodes in 83.3% of the patients vs. 72.0% with the Conclusions: The use of the fhSPECT modality is effective and safe, and, when compared to the
