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
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common progressive neurodegenerative disease. The management of PD including Pisa syndrome (PS), a postural deformity in PD characterized by reversible lateral bending of the trunk on the side, is often challenging. Recently, acupuncture has been a recognized intervention for treating motor or non-motor symptoms in PD management. However, very few of these studies or cases have been reported from Japan. A 58-year-old man with a four-year history of PD (Hoehn and Yahr Scale: Stage 2) presented to the acupuncture department of our hospital with dysphasia, bradykinesia, forward posture, and newly appeared right-side bending of the trunk after he increased the dose of rotigotine delivered via skin patches six months earlier. There was no change in the right-sided bending of the trunk two months after the withdrawal of the dopaminergic agents. A traditional Japanese acupuncture and moxibustion treatment,
