Article in Cancer imaging : the official publication of the International Cancer Imaging Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundSeveral previous studies demonstrated that the combination of self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) and
methodsFifty-nine patients with unresectable MOJ were retrospectively included from March 2018 to June 2021. The main therapeutic outcomes were evaluated in terms of stent patency, and overall survival. Cumulative stent patency and overall survival rates were calculated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Both clinical and treatment factors associated with survival were analyzed.
resultsTechnical success was achieved in all patients. The clinical success rate was 94% (32/34) in the seeds group and 92% (23/25) in the control group, no significant difference was found (p =1.000). The median duration of stent patency was significantly longer in the
