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
A 60-year-old man was referred to our hospital due to upper abdominal pain and distension for 1 month. His past medical history was dilated cardiomyopathy. He had no significant abnormality on physical examination and blood tests were within normal range. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a marginally enhanced mass in the first portion of the duodenum, which was 40 mm in diameter and contained multiple small hypovascular areas. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed a large submucosal tumor (SMT) with a smooth surface in the bulbs of duodenum. The mass had no ulceration or no secretary orifice on the surface. Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) revealed that the specimens were Brunner's glands hyperplasia (BGH). He underwent resection of the first portion of the duodenum and the pyloric part of the stomach. Pathologically, the resected mass showed giant BGH without any neoplasms. After surgery, his symptoms improved without any adverse events. This is a very rare case of giant SMT of the duodenum, which could be histologically diagnosed as BGH by performing EUS-FNB and was successfully treated by surgical resection. BGH is sometimes difficult to differentiate from neoplasia, when the size is large. EUS-FNB is useful for accurate diagnosis.
