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
Agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is an ultra-rare congenital anomaly. We report the case of an 11-year-old male patient who was referred to the pediatric neurology department for the assessment of left leg pain and intermittent, unspecified headaches for four years. On assessment, the left lower limb was wasted and shorter than the right one. Furthermore, he exhibited a complex collection of ocular diseases. Other examinations were unremarkable. Laboratory results were normal, and neuroimaging revealed a bilateral absence of the internal carotid artery. Nevertheless, the patient remained clinically stable, was not on any medications, and was regularly followed up for his comorbidities by a multidisciplinary team. This report highlights the various clinical manifestations of ICA agenesis and the need for a high clinical suspicion for early diagnosis and management. It also includes a review of the literature, highlighting the clinical aspects, embryological origin, and other reported cases.
