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
Background: A large population of women have intrauterine contractive devices (IUCDs) as a result of China's national family planning policy; this has created a significant economic burden and raised technological challenges related to the safe removal of IUCDs in postmenopausal women. It is very important to develop a risk scoring system for the removal of IUCDs (RSSR-IUCDs) to evaluate the preoperative risk of removal and offer management strategies for postmenopausal women. Methods: A systematic case retrospective analysis was conducted on 320 enrolled women who underwent IUCD removal surgery. After screening, stratifying high-risk factors, and final multifactor Logistic Stepwise Regression Analysis, a model named RSSR-IUCDs was constructed. It was verified using the Hosmer-Lemeshow test and a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to further analyze the predictive accuracy of IUCD removal failure. Results: Seven high-risk factors were finally selected, namely duration of menopause, IUCD retention time, a history of uterine surgery, the shape of the IUCD, IUCD position, uterine size, and uterine position. The RSSR-IUCDs was developed and demonstrated goodness of fit (χ Conclusions: The RSSR-IUCD is a scientific, reasonable, and feasible evaluation system which is expected to become a guiding scoring system in accordance with clinical practice for postmenopausal women before the removal of IUCDs.
