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
The Denver shunt is used for persistent chylothorax as a pleuroperitoneal shunt. Insertion of a Denver shunt was attempted in the current case involving a 3-year-old male with a refractory right cervical mediastinal lymphangioma. He was medicated with Eppikajutsuto® (0.65 g/kg) and underwent a Denver shunt for volume reduction of the cervical cyst to prevent airway obstruction. However, revision surgery for hemorrhage in the lymphangioma revealed that the tip of the shunt catheter had penetrated the cyst wall. The rounded tip of the catheter was placed back into the cyst. Oral administration of sirolimus (1 mg) was added. The Denver shunt was removed due to a catheter infection and administration of sirolimus was temporarily stopped because of an elevated blood concentration. Six months postoperatively from the third operation, neck swelling was negligible and radiologic findings showed complete regression of the lymphangioma.
