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
Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is a small round cell tumor that mainly involves the skeleton, with an incidence of 2.93 per million. It is responsible for 4-10% of all bone tumors, with long bones and pelvis being the most frequently observed locations, whereas it affects the skull in only about 1-4% of cases. After osteosarcoma, ES is the most frequently observed bony primary malignant tumour in children. It more frequently regards adolescents or young adults. It is rarely diagnosed below 5 years of age or after the age of 30. ES rarely occurs in the head and neck district and, when it occurs, the jaw and skull base are the two most frequently involved locations. Clinically, head and neck ES does not show any pathognomonic finding, with the most frequent signs and symptoms usually due to the mass effect of the neoplasm. The aim of this paradigmatic case report is to present and discuss the diagnosis and management of a rare case of ES of the right pterygo-palatine region in a 5-year-old girl, that had been previously misdiagnosed and managed as a dental abscess.
