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
Rectal bleeding is a very common symptom referred to hospitals for proctoscopy daily. We present a rare case of a bleeding mass in the rectum. A male patient in his 40s was referred to hospital due to rectal bleeding. On the digital rectal examination, a polypus rectal mass was palpated. Biopsies were taken, and the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) described a 5 cm long tumour. Multiple enlarged lymph nodes in the area were seen on MRI also outside the mesorectum with possible venous infiltration. Radiologically, it was categorized as T3bN2. Due to the patient history, a test for syphilis was requested, which confirmed the diagnosis. Hence, the rectal tumour was identified as a primary chancre of syphilis. Rectal syphilis is a rare manifestation of syphilis, but must be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis when encountering a bleeding rectal mass, especially in men having sex with men.
