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
backgroundAn intrapericardial bronchogenic cyst (IBC) is rare and compresses the surrounding organs, causing symptoms. Resection of an IBC leads to an improvement in symptoms. We completely resected an IBC by performing median sternotomy and the symptom improved, and we described the clinical course. CASE PRESENTATION: A 48-year-old man with palpitation and chest discomfort was referred to our institution. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a 42 × 35 × 32-mm cystic mass attached to the right pulmonary artery and right bronchus. Chest CT also revealed that this cystic mass compressed the superior vena cava, right superior pulmonary vein, and left atrium. Endobronchial ultrasonography transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) revealed a mucinous fluid with high CA19-9 level (> 12,000 U/mL). We performed complete resection of the IBC that firmly adhered to the superior pulmonary vein and left atrium with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) using median sternotomy. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 16 without major complications. The cystic mass was diagnosed as an IBC. He has been well without symptom of chest discomfort and any signs of recurrence for 18 months postoperatively.
conclusionsFor complete resection of an IBC, CPB needs to be anticipated for difficulty in predicting firm adhesion to the heart and great vessels. Measuring the CA19-9 level in the sampling fluid with EBUS-TBNA can be useful for the preoperative IBC diagnosis.
