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
Introduction and importance: Deep-located glomangiomas are rarely reported. Because of their scarcity, treatment strategy is hard to establish. Herein, the authors report the first case to our knowledge of pre-sacral glomangioma. Case presentation: A 34-year-old female patient, with no previous medical history, consulted for 2-month-old pelvic abdominal pain, vomiting and delayed menstruation. Her physical and biological parameters were with no abnormalities. MRI of the pelvis demonstrated a 14 cm mixed heterogeneous pre-sacral lesion pushing the rectum anteriorly. She was operated on via a laparoscopic approach. Division of Douglas' pouch and pelvic peritoneum laterally to the bladder showcased a cystic lesion of 13×8 cm occupying the pelvis while deviating the rectum anteriorly. Its content was aspirated and left membrane was extracted in a sac. The postoperative course was uneventful. Discussion: Pre-sacral masses are hard to treat because of their large heterogeneity. Surgical resection should be tempted to retrieve the definitive histological diagnosis and relieve the patient. However, the surgical route is controversial as each approach has its advantages. Thus, the surgical route should take into consideration the lesion's size, height and surrounding contacts, the patient's functional state and surgeon's expertise. Conclusion: Pre-sacral glomangiomas carries a low malignant pattern but should be resected to offer histological diagnosis. The surgical route remains at the surgeon's decision, with the main objective to totally resect the encountered lesion without causing functional and sexual complications or harm to surrounding viscera.
