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
aimWe developed a rapid evaluation scale for pericardiectomy through a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), in order to improve the diagnostic accuracy of pericardiectomy of tuberculous constrictive pericarditis.
methodIn this study, 262 patients with tuberculous constrictive pericarditis (102 patients) and non-tuberculous constrictive pericarditis (160 patients) were selected by convenience sampling method as participants in Hangzhou Red Corss Hospital from January 2018 to April 2023. The expert validity analysis was carried out by cross-sectional investigation combined with the results of the previous expert questionnaire to establish 12-lead ECG-based the rapid evaluate scale for pericardiectomy of tuberculous constrictive pericarditis. Cronbach'α coefficient and Spearman-Brown coefficient were used for the internal consistency reliability of the scale. Exploratory factor analysis was used for structural validity. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was used to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of this scale.
resultsAfter preliminary verification, the cronbach'α coefficient and Spearman-Brown coefficient were 0.830 and 0.800, respectively. Three factors with feature roots greater than 1.0 were extracted by principal component analysis and maximum variance orthogonal rotation, and the cumulative contribution rate was 57.77%. Each loading factor ranges from 0.427 to 0.863. The sensitivity of the scale was 96.1%, the specificity was 96.9% and the Yorden Index was 93.0%.
conclusionsThe 12-lead ECG-based rapid evaluation scale for pericardiectomy of tuberculous constrictive pericarditis has high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy, and has certain scientific research and clinical application value.
