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
Conventional static MRI sequences routinely used in veterinary medicine provide limited information regarding joint motion and kinematics. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the diagnostic utility of static and kinematic MRI for the evaluation of the feline TMJ in cadavers and for the detection of TMJ dislocation using a low-field (0.25 T) MRI system. In addition, TMJ inclination angles were measured in both intact and experimentally dislocated joints at maximal interincisal opening (MIO) and in the closed-mouth position. Static MRI examinations were performed using T1-weighted (T1W), T2-weighted (T2W), and three-dimensional (3D) sequences acquired in both the closed-mouth and MIO positions. kMRI was performed using a 2D HYCE S sequence during repetitive mandibular opening and closing movements. Subsequently, TMJ dislocation was experimentally induced in a subset of cadavers, which were then rescanned using the same imaging protocol. Inclination angle measurements were analyzed using linear mixed-effects models. Compared with static MRI, kMRI demonstrated lower image quality, primarily due to motion artifacts and a reduced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). TMJ inclination angles were significantly affected by both mouth position (
