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
Head and neck dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (HNDFSP) is a rare neoplasm with a high rate of local infiltration and local recurrence but a low rate of distant metastasis. Given the limited literature on HNDFSP and existing studies pointing to possible racial and ethnic differences, further research is needed to understand important clinical correlates that may impact treatment and prognosis. The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was queried for all cases of HNDFSP diagnosed from 2004 to 2016. Demographic characteristics of the included patients were compared using chi-squared and t-tests. Kaplan-Meier and Cox multivariable regression analyses were performed to assess survival differences. Of the 778 included patients, 526 (67.6%) patients were white, 113 (14.5%) were black, 33 (4.2%) were Asian, 87 (11.2%) were Hispanic, and 19 (2.4%) were classified as Other. White patients presented at a significantly older age (43.8 years) than did black (38.9 years) and Hispanic patients (37.9 years) (
