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
backgroundObstructive jaundice is a common health challenge in daily clinical practice caused by a heterogeneous group of benign and malignant conditions in or around extrahepatic bile ducts. This study aimed to investigate the causes of obstructive jaundice, analyze the age and sex distribution, and report the locations of obstruction.
methodsThis was a retrospective study of electronic records of patients diagnosed with obstructive jaundice in the Hadhramout region in Yemen.
resultsThis study analyzed the data of 303 patients (mean age: 57 ± 17.99 years; range: 18-95 years); 60.40% (n = 183) were female, and 39.60% (n = 120) were male. The highest prevalence was found in middle-aged adults (n = 112, 36.96%), followed by the old (n = 101, 33.33%). Common bile duct (CBD) stones were the most common cause of obstructive jaundice (n = 175, 57.8%), followed by CBD stricture (n = 58, 19.1%), carcinoma of the head of the pancreas (n = 35, 11.6%), cholangiocarcinoma (n = 21, 6.9%), and external compression of the CBD (n = 2, 0.7%). CBD stones, cholangiocarcinoma, and ampulla of Vater masses were more prevalent in females (30.9%, 3.8%, and 2.2%, respectively) than in males (25.8%, 2.9%, and 1.7%, respectively). In contrast, CBD stricture and carcinoma of the pancreas were more frequent in males, occurring in 12.1% and 7.1% of male patients, respectively, compared to 7.9% and 4.9% in female patients. The primary obstruction site was the CBD (n = 254, 83.8%), followed by the head of the pancreas (n = 30, 9.9%), and the ampulla of Vater (n = 13, 4.3%).
conclusionsObstructive jaundice predominantly affects middle-aged adults followed by the old-aged patients predominantly in females. The most common cause of obstructive jaundice was CBD stones, followed by CBD stricture, while carcinoma of the head of the pancreas was the most common malignant cause, followed by cholangiocarcinoma. Distal CBD is the most common anatomical location of obstructive jaundice.
