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
A 2-year-old male with genetic-negative, diazoxide-responsive hyperinsulinism presented with a knot in his left, lateral thigh. His hypoglycemia was managed with diazoxide, chlorothiazide, and monitoring via a Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor (CGM). X-ray showed 3 metallic wire foreign bodies, consistent with retained Dexcom sensor wires. He was referred to surgery for foreign body removal. Intraoperative fluoroscopy revealed 4 pieces of wire. Two superficial pieces were removed, but 2 small pieces deep to the fascia remained because of significant risk of injury or bleeding if removal was attempted. We present this case to increase awareness in the literature regarding retention of CGM wires. Raised nodules at sites of CGM insertion without fluctuation or erythema and persistent pain should raise suspicion for retention of sensor wires.
