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
abstractChoriocarcinoma is an aggressive malignant trophoblastic tumour of rare occurrence, which often presents with multiple metastases, including lungs, brain, liver, kidneys, and lymph nodes. However, primary choriocarcinoma of the pulmonary artery is an even rarer and highly malignant clinical entity that is difficult to diagnose and treat timely. Less than 15 cases have been reported so far in the literature. In this case report, a 38-year-old female presented with recurrent pulmonary thromboemboli despite being on adequate anticoagulation. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) showed an abnormally hypermetabolic uptake in the pulmonary artery thrombi, suggesting tumour emboli. Catheter-guided aspiration thrombectomy followed by pathological examination confirmed non-gestational choriocarcinoma originating from the pulmonary arteries. The patient underwent treatment under a medical oncologist and responded well to the treatment. A literature search revealed only 12 reported cases. Diagnosis of primary pulmonary artery choriocarcinoma requires a high index of suspicion. Suspicion rises manifold when a reproductive age group female presents with recurrent pulmonary thromboembolism with raised serum βhCG levels.
