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
Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are uncommon benign head and neck neoplasms. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for CBTs. However, the anatomical structures adjacent to the tumor tissue may encounter serious injuries during the surgery. Shamblin grading system is a surgical intra-operative scoring system to determine the risks associated with the surgery. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the correlation of pre-surgical imaging parameters with Shamblin grades and intra-operative complications. In this cross sectional study, we enrolled 36 patients with CBTs. Preoperative cervical CT angiography was acquired in each participant and following parameters were reported in each case: Tumor volume, tumor distance to the base of the skull (TDBS), tumor contact with the internal carotid artery (ICA), and external carotid artery (ECA) and tumor density. Finally, we assessed the relation of pre-surgical imaging parameters with Shamblin grades, and intra-operative complications. Only tumor volume was significantly correlated with Shamblin grades (
