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
BackgroundWe investigated racial disparities in radiologic and clinical outcomes of patients after middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) with or without evacuation surgery.MethodsThis multicenter retrospective study includes consecutive patients who underwent MMAE across 11 institutions in North America (10 in the United States and 1 in Canada). Patients were stratified using self-reported racial data. Outcomes of interest were complications, treatment failure/reoperations, resolution of hematoma, and functional independence at last follow-up. Multivariable regression models were used to assess and adjust for relevant confounders.ResultsA total of 557 patients underwent 663 MMAEs, including 323 White (58%), 150 Black (27%), 35 Hispanic (6%), 29 Asian (5%) patients, and 20 patients (4%) self-categorized as other/nondisclosed. The median age (interquartile range) of the cohort was 75 (65-81) years, and 412 (74%) patients were female. Middle meningeal artery embolization was the primary treatment for CSDH for 369 patients (66%) and adjunct treatment for 188 (34%). Black patients had a 51% lower likelihood of reoperation relative to other racial categories (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.49; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.25-0.95,
