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
Wilms tumor (WT) is among the most common pediatric malignancies. In this study, the authors tried to evaluate the adherence to internationally-approved WT treatment protocols in our tertiary medical center in Iran. Methods: In this retrospective study, the medical records of 72 pathologically confirmed WT patients who underwent treatment from April 2014 to February 2020 were evaluated. Demographic characteristics, histologic features of the tumors and metastases, utilized treatments, and survival rates were subsequently investigated. Results: From the total of 72 patients, 31 (43.1%) and 41 (56.9%) were males and females, respectively. The median age at the time of diagnosis was 44.0 (interquartile range: 18.5, 72.0) months. Among the patients, favorable histology was observed in 68 (94.6%) patients, while 4 (5.4%) patients had unfavorable histology. Regarding chemotherapy, 34/56 (60.7%), 4/56 (7.1%), and 18/56 (32.2%) received adjuvant, neoadjuvant, and combined chemotherapy, respectively. The mean numbers of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy sessions were 9.4±5.6 and 14.5±11.1, respectively. 32/72 (44.4%) of the patients received adjuvant radiotherapy with a mean number of 7.3±3.6 sessions. Overall survival rates were 86% at 1-year, 74% at 3-year, and 62% at 5-year. Conclusion: Our results suggested that while the demographic characteristics of WT patients in Iran resemble those in other countries, abidance to internationally recommended protocols is relatively low. Moreover, survival rates were rather dismal in our study compared to those from other developing countries, further signifying the need for the development of a nation-specific treatment protocol for WT.
