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
backgroundSubepicardial hematoma due to spontaneous coronary artery rupture (SCAR) is exceedingly rare. CASE PRESENTATION: An asymptomatic 68-year-old woman with Graves' disease was introduced to us because of an abnormal right hilar shadow. Graves' disease had been treated effectively with thiamazole. Without any chest trauma or disease related to coronary artery rupture, computed tomography revealed a 44-mm mass lesion that occupied the front of the right atrium. Two branches arising from the proximal right coronary artery surrounded the lesion and appeared to be the feeding vessels. We suspected a tumor and performed radical surgery. The lesion was completely removed using an ultrasonic scalpel and revealed as organized subepicardial hematoma.
conclusionThis is the rare surgical case of organized subepicardial hematoma due to SCAR. A high grade of suspicion is necessary for the correct diagnosis. Graves' disease is not considered as an underlying disease of SCAR.
