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
Objective: To investigate the correlation between vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) and posterior cranial fossa (PCF) space. Methods: The medical records and imaging data of patients with VBD and control group were collected from June 2021 to June 2022 in the Third People's Hospital of Hubei Province. All patients with VBD were graded by head and neck CTA. The grading index was divided into two parts, including vertebral artery bifurcation height and offset degree. Taking the healthy adult subjects of matched age as the control group. The linear volume of posterior cranial fossa was measured by median sagittal CTA images. Middle clivus length, transverse diameter of occipital foramen, supraoccipital length, sagittal diameter of posterior cranial fossa and height diameter of posterior cranial fossa was measured. The volume of the PCF was calculated by 3Dslice software. The relationship between VBD and the volume of PCF was analyzed by SPSS23.0. Results: The height diameter of posterior cranial fossa, sagittal diameter of posterior cranial fossa, transverse diameter of occipital foramen, clival length, supraoccipital length and space volume of PCF were 34.78 ± 3.67 mm, 85.49 ± 4.15 mm, 30.89 ± 3.94 mm, 44.53 ± 5.36 mm, 45.21 ± 6.45 mm, 171.08 ± 15.81 cm Conclusion: The smaller volume of PCF may leading the greater possibility of VBD. Under the classification of VBD, the older, the longer the course of disease is, the higher degree of VBD classification is.
