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
Objective: To report a clinical case of complete hydatidiform mole (CHM) with significant impact on thyroid function, associated with the development of acute pulmonary edema in the period following uterine evacuation. Case Report: A 46-year-old woman sought medical attention due to significant vaginal bleeding, with marked elevation of serum β-hCG (greater than 300,000 mIU/mL), as well as transvaginal ultrasonography with imaging suggestive of HM. After uterine evacuation, the patient developed acute respiratory failure with dyspnea and chest pain, requiring intensive care admission and mechanical ventilation. Thyroid storm was diagnosed based on clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and Burch-Wartofsky criteria (50 points). Additional investigations excluded pulmonary embolism and primary thyroid disease. Removal of the HM resulted in decreased β-hCG titers; however, normalization of serum thyroid hormone levels occurred only after pharmacological treatment. Conclusion: This case highlights the potential progression of hCG-mediated thyrotoxicosis to thyroid crisis after uterine evacuation and emphasizes the importance of early recognition and treatment of severe hyperthyroidism in patients with HM. Early diagnosis and prompt management may help prevent thyroid crisis and cardiopulmonary complications. This case also demonstrates that acute pulmonary edema and transient cardiac dysfunction may occur as severe manifestations of thyroid crisis associated with gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD). Furthermore, close collaboration among obstetric, endocrine, and critical care teams is essential to optimize outcomes in complex presentations.
