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
A 54-year-old, one-eyed Caucasian male was admitted to the Ophthalmology Clinic due to a gradual deterioration of vision in the right eye for approximately two weeks. The patient denied any trauma or viral infection during this time. On the day of admission, the patient's best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the right eye was 0.5 on the Snellen scale. The patient's left eye had been atrophied for several years, with no light perception and no visibility of the fundus due to previous trauma and multiple surgeries. Ophthalmologic examination of the anterior segment and vitreous body of both eyes showed no signs of inflammation. Fundus examination of the right eye revealed scattered inflammatory foci, creamy-yellow and round, visible in all sectors. Laboratory tests, imaging studies, optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiographies, OCTs of the macula and optic nerve head, fluorescein angiographies (FAs), electroretinograms (ERGs), and visual field tests were performed. These examinations led to a diagnosis of a disease resembling birdshot-like chorioretinopathy. Immunogenetic testing of the patient did not reveal the presence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A29. Dermatological and immunological consultations were conducted, and a differential diagnosis was made. Due to the reduced visual acuity (VA) observed and the inability to assess the left eye, a high-dose corticosteroid therapy was initiated, which was gradually tapered, along with the application of an immunosuppressive drug. The course of the disease was typical for birdshot chorioretinopathy, with chronic periods of remissions and exacerbations. The patient's clinical improvement was only achieved after co-administration of general corticosteroids at a dose of 0.5-1 mg/kg/day, mycofenolate mofetil, and periocular (sub-Tenon's) triamcinolone.
