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 AND
objectivesTo define the clinical and immunologic profile of patients with paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes (PNSs) associated with Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC).
methodsRetrospective analysis was conducted on patients with suspected MCC-related PNS assessed at the French Reference Center, and cases were identified by a systematic review of the literature (MEDLINE, Embase) following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
resultsA total of 17 patients were identified in our center and 30 in the systematic review, resulting in an overall cohort of 47 patients. The median age was 65 years (range 41-90), and 30 of 46 (65%) were men. Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) (14/47, 29%), rapidly progressive cerebellar syndrome (11/47, 23%), and encephalomyelitis (EM) (8/47, 17%) were the most common associated clinical phenotypes. The most frequently associated neural antibodies (Abs) were voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC)-Abs (14/45, 31%), followed by Hu-Abs (8/45, 17%) and neurofilament (NF)-Abs (8/45, 17%). Patients with NF-Abs only exhibited CNS disorders (8/8, 100%) and often had antibodies against >1 NF subunit (6/8, 75%). At onset, 26 of 43 patients (60%) had no identifiable primary skin tumor but had lymph node metastasis; these patients were more frequently men (21/26, 80%, vs 7/17, 41%; DISCUSSION: MCC-related PNSs present as a heterogeneous clinical spectrum including central and/or peripheral nervous system disorders such as LEMS, RCPS, and EM, mainly associated with VGCC-Abs, NF-Abs, and Hu-Abs. NF-Abs were only seen among patients with CNS disorders. At onset, the absence of a primary skin tumor but presence of lymph node metastasis is frequently observed, and this particular clinical presentation is linked to reduced mortality, highlighting distinctive clinical and immunologic features of MCC-related PNS.
