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
Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS), also known as Paterson-Brown Kelly syndrome, is a clinical condition that is characterized by the triad of iron deficiency anemia, dysphagia and oesophageal web. This condition is rare and is diagnosed more in middle aged to older white women. However, in some studies, younger individuals have also been found to have this condition. We present a 26-year-old woman with a 5-year history of progressive difficulty in swallowing and a long history (approximately 18 years) of iron deficiency anaemia and has been on intermittent iron supplementation. A barium swallow showed narrowing in the upper third of the oesophagus, and she underwent serial dilatation of the oesophageal web stenosis and iron therapy with resultant improvement in the dysphagia. This patient was found to be pregnant 3 months postdiagnosis of PVS. The prevalence of PVS has decreased due to early diagnosis of iron deficiency and repletion of iron stores.
