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 75-year-old woman was admitted for the treatment of uterine fibroids and underwent laparoscopic total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy under general anesthesia. On the first postoperative day, the patient experienced sudden convulsion followed by loss of consciousness while transitioning from a seated to standing position. Subsequent examinations revealed pulmonary embolism and partial thrombosis in the muscular veins of the right lower leg. Anticoagulant therapy was immediately initiated. On postoperative day 3, early morning, the patient was found to be agitated with a positive Babinski sign on the right side. A CT scan of the brain revealed a cerebral infarction. Following the sequential occurrence of pulmonary embolism and cerebral infarction, paradoxical embolism drew the physician's attention. After discussion, the cause was attributed to either an arteriovenous fistula or a patent foramen ovale. Subsequent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and bubble study confirmed a patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the patient. This case highlights the critical importance of proactively searching for underlying etiologies when faced with such abnormal clinical presentations.
