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
ImportanceChildhood recurrent anterior epistaxis (RAE) commonly coexists with allergic rhinitis (AR), causing significant symptoms and distress to patients; however, treatment remains controversial.ObjectiveTo compare the clinical outcomes of pediatric patients with RAE and AR treated intraoperatively with silver nitrate cauterization (SNC) or radiofrequency coagulation (RFC).Study DesignProspective, randomized controlled study.SettingTertiary referral center.ParticipantsPediatric patients presenting with RAE and AR.Exposure or InterventionPatients received SNC or RFC in a double-blind, prospective cohort study.Main Outcome MeasuresThe Epistaxis Severity Score (ESS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores for AR-related symptoms were recorded at baseline, 4thweek, 3rd month, and 12th month.ResultsThe rebleeding rate in the SNC group was 18.0% at the 4th week, 46.0% at the 3rdmonth, and 58.0% at the 12th month, whereas the RFC group demonstrated rates of 2.0%, 0%, and 0%, respectively (
