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
Mucous gland adenoma (MGA) is a rare, benign lung tumour. Recently, NKX3.1 immunohistochemistry was reported to be a diagnostic marker for distinguishing MGA from other mucinous tumours. A 60-year-old male with a 20-year history of a tumor-like lesion, primarily composed of mucus in the left lingual region. While the lesion was being monitored, its size gradually increased. We then performed a segmentectomy of the lingula. Postoperative pathological examination showed that the tumour had a tubulopapillary structure. The tumour cells were columnar with slight atypia, diffusely positive for NKX3.1 and were diagnosed as MGA. No recurrence was found after 6 months of postoperative follow-up, and the sputum count had markedly decreased. This case report aids in elucidating the pathogenesis of MGA and NKX3.1-positive lung tumours.
