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
Red ear syndrome (RES) is a rare disorder characterized by episodic erythema, warmth, and burning pain of the external ear. RES is frequently associated with migraine. We report the case of a 35-year-old male with a long-standing history of poorly controlled migraine who presented with recurrent bilateral auricular erythema and burning pain, predominantly affecting the left ear. Symptoms were triggered by migraine attacks, heat exposure, and ear manipulation and relieved by cooling measures. Clinical examination, laboratory investigations, and imaging were normal. RES was diagnosed after excluding infectious and inflammatory causes. Treatment with indomethacin and magnesium resulted in complete symptom resolution. RES should be considered in patients with recurrent auricular erythema and burning pain, particularly in those with migraine. Careful clinical assessment and systematic exclusion of alternative diagnoses are crucial for identifying RES and preventing inappropriate management.
