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
introductionThe aim of this Delphi process was to develop consensus guidelines to support the effective use of striatal dopaminergic imaging and cardiac metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy in the diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies and mild cognitive impairment with Lewy bodies.
methodsA Delphi consensus panel of 37 international experts independently indicated their agreement or disagreement with statements on indications for the use of these biomarkers and clinical situations in which each biomarker should and should not be used. Statements were accepted if they reached > 80% agreement.
resultsOverall, 36/70 statements (51%) were accepted in Round 1, and 19/37 (51%) were accepted in Round 2. DISCUSSION: The Delphi consensus process has developed freely available guidelines outlining clinical situations in which striatal dopaminergic imaging and cardiac MIBG scintigraphy may be useful and considerations for their use, including the effect of specific comorbidities and medications on each of the biomarkers.
