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
Retroperitoneal tuberculosis is a rare disease that can mimic many conditions and lacks specific clinical manifestations, which makes it difficult to diagnose. As a consequence, it can be misdiagnosed as a malignant tumour. Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) can obtain specimens of the lesion site from areas that might be inaccessible using more traditional biopsy methods. A 60-year-old female patient was admitted with a 3-month history of intermittent upper abdominal pain accompanied by nausea. Imaging found pancreatic uncinate process and retroperitoneal lymph nodes at the horizontal part of the duodenum. EUS-FNA found necrotic matter, multinucleated giant cells and epithelioid cells consistent with the signs of tuberculosis bacilli infection, although typical noncaseous granuloma and
