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
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effects of different mixing techniques on the characteristics of n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) and ethiodized oil mixtures. Materials and Methods: Two mixing techniques were compared: the hand-stirring method (manual mixing of NBCA and ethiodized oil in a medicine cup) and the syringe-pumping method (emulsification of NBCA and ethiodized oil using a 10-mL syringe with a 3-way stopcock). The flow and polymerization times were measured, and variance analysis (F-test) was performed to assess the differences in the variability of the results between the two methods. Mixture homogeneity and particle distribution were examined. Results: The syringe-pumping method yielded significantly a faster flow time (19.9 ± 1.33 s vs. 28.1 ± 5.77 s, Conclusion: Syringe-pumping produces more consistent and homogenous NBCA and ethiodized oil emulsion with faster flow and polymerization characteristics than hand-stirring. These findings suggest that syringe-pumping enhances the efficacy and reliability of embolization procedures.
