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 neurodevelopmental disorders have been linked to early life immune activation and inflammation, including developmental delay, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities, and other neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. Certain inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α, secreted by endometriosis cells cause chronic pelvic inflammation and pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether maternal endometriosis increased the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring in Taiwanese women. The study included eligible mother-offspring pairs with maternal endometriosis (the case cohort) and mother-offspring pairs without maternal endometriosis (the comparison cohort) matched for maternal age at delivery, infant sex, and delivery date, both with offspring born during 2009-2016 and followed till 2019, from the Taiwan Maternal and Child Health Database. The incidence rates and crude hazard ratios (HRs) of development delay and cerebral palsy in the offspring delivered by mothers with endometriosis were higher than those in the offspring delivered by mothers without endometriosis (developmental delay: incidence 1.51 vs. 1.30 per 1000 person-months, crude HR = 1.16; cerebral palsy: incidence 0.04 vs. 0.03 per 1000 person-months, HR = 1.38). In model 1, the adjusted HRs of development delay and cerebral palsy in the offspring of mothers with endometriosis were 1.16 (95 % confidence interval [CI] = 1.11-1.22,
