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
Study DesignRetrospective cohort study.ObjectivesTo assess the improvement of sexual impairment after percutaneous intradiscal ozone therapy in patients complaining of low back pain (LBP) due to lumbar disc herniation.MethodsBetween January 2018 and June 2021, 157 consecutive imaging-guided percutaneous intradiscal ozone therapies were performed on 122 patients with LBP and/or sciatic pain due to lumbar disc herniation. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was administered before the treatment and at 1-month and 3-month follow-ups and the ODI Section 8 (ODI-8/sex life) values were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the improvement of sexual impairment and disability.ResultsMean age of patients was 54.63 ± 12.40. Technical success was achieved in all cases (157/157). Clinical success was registered in 61.97% (88/142) of patients at 1-month follow-up and in 82.69% (116/142) at 3-month follow-up. The mean ODI-8/sex life was 3.73 ± 1.29 before the procedure, 1.71 ± 1.37 at 1-month follow up and 0.44 ± 0.63 at 3-month follow-up. Compared to older patients, subjects under 50 years showed a significantly slower recovery of sexual impairment (
