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
Sciatic nerve palsy because of tourniquet use in the pediatric population is rare. Here, we present a case of a 13-year-old girl with sciatic nerve palsy caused by tourniquet use after knee meniscal surgery. On the day after the operation, incomplete tibial and complete peroneal nerve palsy was observed. First, a sciatic nerve palsy caused by the tourniquet use and an iatrogenic common peroneal nerve injury caused by the meniscal suture device of lateral menisci was considered. However, the possibility of the iatrogenic common peroneal nerve injury was ruled out based on the examination findings. As a result, we diagnosed the sciatic nerve palsy caused by tourniquet use. The sciatic nerve palsy gradually improved within a week. Finally, the palsy completely recovered at 8 weeks postoperatively.
