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
Rasmussen's aneurysm is a rare yet fatal cause of massive haemoptysis in pulmonary tuberculosis. Early identification and timely intervention are of utmost importance to reduce the associated mortality. A girl in early adolescence presented with persistent fever and massive haemoptysis who required intubation and was subsequently confirmed to have tuberculosis. CT pulmonary angiogram showed the presence of pseudoaneurysms in the left upper and lower lobes. The haemoptysis resolved following the embolisation of the culprit's vessel. Residual lung destruction was evident on CT after a 12-month course of antituberculosis therapy. Rasmussen's aneurysm is a significant vascular complication of cavitary tuberculosis and needs to be considered in patients presenting with massive haemoptysis.
