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
Background and Aims: Women face diagnostic delays in the workup of many diseases. We investigated whether there are sex-based disparities in the diagnostic workup of patients with benign pancreaticobiliary pathologies requiring endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study including patients undergoing ERCP from December 2017 to 2021 for benign pancreaticobiliary pathologies. We assessed differences between males and females in days from presentation to ERCP, number of healthcare visits before ERCP, symptoms, and diagnostic workup at first visit. Results: One hundred twenty-eight patients (68 female patients) were identified. Eighteen percent of male patients initially presented with fever or chills versus 6% of female patients ( Conclusions: We did not observe sex-based delays in time from presentation to ERCP in our sample; however, women were less likely to have adequate workup for benign pancreaticobiliary conditions at the first visit.
