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
introductionStauffer's syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic non metastatic hepatic dysfunction related to renal cell carcinoma. It is characterized by elevated alkaline phosphatase, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, a-2-globulin, y-glutamyl transferase, thrombocytosis, prolongation of prothrombin time and hepatosplenomegaly, in the absence of hepatic metastasis. A rare variant of it with cholestatic jaundice is described in four cases so far in literature. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: We present a case of a patient presented with features of cholestatic jaundice who was found to have a left sided renal cell carcinoma in the work up. DISCUSSION: This case illustrates the importance of considering paraneoplastic syndromes in mind when working up for patients presenting with hepatic dysfunctions without identifiable causes.
conclusionThis may result in early identification and intervention which will result in better outcome and prolong survival rate.
