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: Fully covered self-expandable metal stents (FCSEMSs) are a common therapeutic treatment for benign and malignant esophageal disorders. Stent migration is a common adverse event of FSCEMSs. We describe clips with anchor prongs (CAPs) as a novel technique to reduce FCSEMS migration. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 27 patients with FCSEMSs affixed with CAPs and 28 patients without FCSEMS affixation for stent migration as the primary endpoint and used previously published data to determine the relative risk reduction (RRR). Results: Migration was observed in 14.8% of cases (RRR, 43%). CAP affixation was associated with a decreased odds of migration (odds ratio, .19; Conclusions: CAPs may reduce stent migration, providing a novel option for the endoscopist seeking a means of securely attaching esophageal FCSEMSs.
