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
Professor Yasunaru Kawashima was awarded the Order of Culture for the year of 2025. This marks the first time to be given to a pioneer in the field of cardiovascular surgery, and is etched into the history of thoracic surgery in Japan. Through his long-standing academic works in cardiac surgery at Osaka University, Professor Kawashima has not only dedicated to establish the status of cardiovascular surgical outcomes as to the international level, but also introduced new surgical techniques for several congenital heart malformations where curative surgeries were previously undeveloped. Heart and lung transplantation from brain-dead donors had long been restricted in Japan. Through his tireless efforts, the medical and social infrastructure was developed to settle the Organ Transplantation Act in 1997 to resume the heart transplantation after over 30 years of absence.
