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
End stage liver disease is a chronic progressive condition causing significant morbidity and mortality with a cumulative mental and physical burden leading to impaired health-related quality of life (HRQOL). This study aim is to determine the proportion of cirrhotic with poor HRQOL and factors (biochemical parameters) affecting HRQOL. A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care center from Northern India among 193 cirrhosis patients utilizing SF-36 and the chronic liver disease questionnaire (CLDQ) tool. HRQOL was determined by mean CLDQ score, while SF-36 was used to determine physical and mental component score. Association between biochemical parameters and HRQOL, correlation between CLDQ domains and SF-36 was studied. Mean age of participants was 46.2 ± 11 years. Most of them were male, 153 (79%) and 40 (21%) female participants. CLDQ mean score was 3.0 ± 1.2, and 83% of the study participants had poor quality of life (QOL). Among hematological parameters, low hemoglobin and low platelet count was significantly associated with poor QoL (
