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
Niemann Pick disease B (NPB) often presents with hepatosplenomegaly and lung pathological changes, but it usually does not present with central nervous system symptoms. This report presents the unique case of a 21-year-old woman with a 10-year history of hard skin and hepatosplenomegaly. Genetic sequencing revealed NPB and also suggested Segawa syndrome. Although symptomatic supportive treatments were administered in an attempt to improve muscle tone and treat the skin sclerosis, their efficacy was not satisfactory, and the patient refused further treatment. This case provides several noteworthy findings. First, although NPB and Segawa syndrome are rare, both are autosomal recessive inherited diseases that share common clinical symptoms and imaging manifestations. Second, when NPB and Segawa syndrome are highly suspected, screening for tyrosine hydroxylase (
