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
Although they are frequently benign tumors of mesenchymal origin, lipomas sporadically develop in the oral cavity. Intramuscular lipomas, which originate inside muscles, are a rare subtype. When found in the tongue, they are considerably more uncommon and its etiology remains unclear. Histological examination of the specimen shows mature adipocytes of uniform size with minimal vascularization and sometimes striated muscle fibers are to be seen in the periphery. A yellowish submucosal mass that is slowly expanding, painless, and asymptomatic, is typically seen based on a patient's history and clinical examination. Lipomas that occur in uncommon locations should be mentioned and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an oral mass. The main treatment option is a complete surgical excision. The purpose of this report is to describe a case of a 43-year-old female patient with an atypical, well-defined intramuscular lipoma in her tongue that began to form around 10 months ago.
