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: CHPS dramatically affects infant growth and development and can even cause aspiration resulting from esophageal reflux. There is potential danger. CHPS is common, while CHPS with gas in the stomach wall and portal vein is rare. Gas in the stomach wall and portal vein are often the key features of more serious disease. It can be easily mistaken as a serious disease when patients with CHPS have gas in the stomach wall and portal vein. Case presentation: A 56-day-old baby was hospitalized for aspiration pneumonia after vomiting without bile for 20 days. Compared with vomiting, which is the most common symptom, pneumonia tends to attract more attention. Because of pneumonia, a chest CT scan was performed and revealed massive gas accumulation in the walls of the esophagus, stomach, and portal vein. Therefore, NEC was considered first and was treated conservatively for one week. However, the vomiting continued, and CHPS was confirmed by ultrasound. The delay in CHPS diagnosis was due to insufficient recognition of the signs of gas accumulation. Because of inexperience and lack of knowledge about CHPS with gastrointestinal pneumatosis, physicians failed to make an early accurate diagnosis. Case 2 was a 29-day-old male who was admitted to the hospital with vomiting without bile. He was examined by ultrasound, which revealed gas in the stomach wall and portal vein after admission to the hospital. No peritonitis was found after a detailed and comprehensive physical examination. Emergency life-threatening diseases such as NEC were quickly ruled out. He received surgery as soon as possible and had an uneventful recovery with no complications. Conclusion: CHPS may present with gas in the gastric or esophageal wall and portal vein, which is not a contraindication to surgery.
