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 Bone marrow examination (BME) is an indispensable diagnostic tool to evaluate various hematological and non-hematological disorders. Bone marrow aspirate cytology and bone marrow trephine biopsy, even though performed simultaneously, are assessed at different points in time due to different processing methods. Aims and objective This study aims to assess and compare the role of bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy to formulate an effective and rapid method for diagnosing a wide spectrum of various hematological and non-hematological disorders. Materials and methods The approach of our study was a hospital-based prospective study conducted on 200 patients over a period of 1 year. The role of bone marrow aspiration and a trephine biopsy is to formulate an effective and rapid method for diagnosing a wide spectrum of hematological and non-hematological disorders. Results In our study, a total of 200 cases were studied, of whom 119 patients were male and 81 were female. The most common finding was erythroid hyperplasia, comprising 40 (20%) cases, followed by hypoplastic marrow, comprising 28 (14%) cases. Subsequently, there were 19 (9.5%) cases of acute leukemia, while 15 (7.5%) cases of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the chronic phase were found. In our study, bone marrow aspirate and bone marrow trephine biopsy were found to positively correlate in 137 (68.5%) of the cases. Conclusion Bone marrow aspiration alone is sufficient for the diagnosis of megaloblastic anemia and most of the hematological malignancies. Bone marrow trephine biopsy is more appropriate for the detection of disorders of focal marrow involvement such as lymphoproliferative disorders and staging of lymphomas, metastatic cancers, granulomatous lesions, and hypoplastic marrow. However, it is strongly recommended that both procedures should be done simultaneously to ensure maximum diagnostic accuracy.
