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
Hemorrhoids is one of the most prevalent diseases affecting people's health both in Thailand and worldwide. The therapeutic use of medicinal plants for hemorrhoidal treatments is widespread across many countries, supported by evidence demonstrating the efficacy of their pharmacological activity. This study aims to (1) conduct an in-depth literature review on plants used in Thailand for hemorrhoid treatment and (2) identify the most promising species in traditional Thai medicine to effectively treat hemorrhoids. A total of 53 references were methodically reviewed. The important medicinal plants were determined using ethnobotanical indices including use-value (UV) and choice value of species (CVs), and the important species were selected for an in-depth review of their pharmacological activities. Our literature review found that there were 181 species belonging to 147 genera and 78 families used to treat hemorrhoids among 18 ethnic groups. The most cited species were
