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
Epignathus is an extremely rare congenital oropharyngeal teratoma. Here, we report a case of epignathus without intracranial extension in a fetus. The mass was first found by ultrasonography at 22 gestational weeks. Serial ultrasound examinations and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed that the fetus had neither central nervous system involvement nor abnormal nose or tooth. The baby was delivered at 37 weeks and six days of gestation via cesarean section set up for ex-utero intrapartum treatment. The postnatal pathologic examination confirmed the presence of mature tissues predominantly containing ectopic central nervous tissue, osseous tissue, and bronchial mucosal tissue. Most cases of epignathus are associated with malformation and death. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging prenatal assessments are very important to facilitate counseling and understand prognosis. In conclusion, the ex-utero intrapartum treatment procedure is a good approach to improve the survival of infants with epignathus.
