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
Background: Distinguishing an isolated metastatic dural tumor from a meningioma on imaging is challenging and may lead to a delay in treatment. Here, we present the first known case of isolated, solitary dural metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) mimicking a meningioma. Case Description: A 64-year-old male with a history of liver cirrhosis presented with a 5.8 cm enhancing left parafalcine hemorrhagic dural-based mass extending across the midline. Cerebral angiography revealed a distal left anterior pseudoaneurysm, and tumor contrast blush with feeders from the left ophthalmic and right middle meningeal artery. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully embolized to stop the bleeding, followed by an uneventful bi-coronal frontal craniotomy for falcine tumor resection to relieve brain compression. Histopathological analysis of the dural-based tumor showed poorly differentiated carcinoma with positive albumin Conclusion: When encountering a solitary, highly vascular mass bearing resemblance to a meningioma, it may be prudent to consider the possibility of a dural-based metastatic carcinoma.
