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
Background: Intraoperative blood loss (IBL) is a common complication of carotid body paraganglioma (CBP) resection, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can quantitatively assess the perfusion of CBP. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of CEUS in predicting the IBL in patients undergoing resection for CBP. Methods: This study included 10 consecutive patients who underwent CBP surgery and preoperative evaluation of CBP perfusion via CEUS between November 2020 and December 2021. The correlation between CEUS enhancement pattern and quantitative perfusion parameters and IBL were determined using stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results: The median age of the 10 patients was 57 [interquartile range (IQR), 51-66] years old, and 8 of them were female. The IBL ranged from 10 to 800 mL, with a median of 100 (IQR, 20-400) mL. The sizes of CBPs in the ≥50 mL IBL group, in the ≥100 mL group, and in the ≥400 mL group were significantly larger than those in the <50 mL group, <100 mL group, and <400 mL group (P<0.05), respectively. CBPs of Shamblin type I accounted for a higher proportion in the <50 mL group and in the <100 mL group as compared to the other groups (P<0.05). Grade 1 CEUS enhancement pattern was more common in the <100 mL group, and grade 3 CEUS enhancement pattern was more common in the ≥100 mL group (P<0.05). Stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that the maximum diameter of CBP (D Conclusions: The D
