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
Purpose: This study investigates risk factors for recurrence in patients who underwent laparoscopic primary closure (PC) for pyloroduodenal ulcer perforation (PUP). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from patients who underwent laparoscopic PC with or without highly selective vagotomy (HSV) for PUP at a tertiary hospital from 2010 to 2019. Demographics, surgical outcomes, proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use, Results: A total of 139 patients were included in the analysis. Of these, 109 (78.4%) were male, and 76 (54.7%) were current smokers. Ninety-five patients (68.3%) underwent PC only, while 44 (31.7%) received PC + HSV. During the follow-up period, ulcer recurrence was observed in 19 patients (13.7%) and perforation recurrence in 9 (6.5%). In Cox proportional analysis for ulcer recurrence, smoking (hazard ratio [HR], 6.476; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.834-22.873; P = 0.004) and older age (HR, 1.049; 95% CI, 1.012-1.088; P = 0.009) were identified as significant factors. For peptic ulcer perforation recurrence, smoking (HR, 19.129; 95% CI, 2.048-178.702; P = 0.010) and older age (HR, 1.062; 95% CI, 1.009-1.118; P = 0.021) were significant. No significant associations were found between sex, duration of PPI therapy, Conclusion: Smoking and age are important factors for recurrence following laparoscopic PC for PUP. These findings emphasize the need for smoking cessation and close postoperative monitoring.
