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
Several studies evaluated the association between adipokines, including leptin, in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Nevertheless, the results have been inconclusive and conflicting. Therefore, we assessed the pertinent published studies and evaluated the association between leptin levels and ACS. In January 2023, we conducted a comprehensive systematic search using Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Embase. Using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, we evaluated the quality of all the articles we included. The principal summary outcome was the mean difference (MD) in leptin levels. We included 16 studies in our systematic review, 10 of which were included in meta-analysis. The MD in leptin levels was then evaluated in each subgroup: the patients with ACS versus the controls, the patients with ACS versus the patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP), and the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and ACS versus the patients without diabetes, but with ACS. Respectively, the following MDs were obtained: 10.508 (95% CI 3.670-17.346); 2.408 (95% CI -0.150-4.966); and 17.089 (95% CI 5.565-28.612). The leptin levels were significantly higher in the patients with ACS compared to the healthy controls, as well as in the patients with ACS and T2DM compared to those without T2DM. However, no statistically significant increase in leptin levels was observed when comparing the patients with ACS to those with SAP.
