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
Objectives: To investigate endoscopic management and clinical outcomes in patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 332 patients with non-variceal upper GI bleeding who underwent emergency upper GI endoscopy at three hospitals during the pandemic (April 2020-June 2021) and before the pandemic (January 2019-March 2020). The number of emergency upper GI endoscopies, time from hospital arrival to endoscopy, mortality within 30 days, rebleeding within 30 days, interventional radiology (IVR)/surgery requirement, composite outcome, rates of endoscopic hemostasis procedures, and second-look endoscopy were investigated using logistic regression. Results: Overall, 152 and 180 patients underwent emergency upper GI endoscopies during and before the pandemic, respectively. The mean time from arrival to endoscopy was longer during the pandemic than before it (11.7 vs. 6.1 h, Conclusions: Although the time from arrival to endoscopy was significantly longer during the pandemic, it did not affect mortality and rebleeding.
