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
The dismembered body of a 27-year-old man was found in a cesspit on a farm where he had lived with his father and his sister. At autopsy of the body with severed limbs and transected torso, an exploded beehive firecracker was found deeply stuck in the oral cavity. There were numerous petechiae in the mucosa of the eyes and in the skin of the face as well as signs of heat-induced trauma in the oral mucosa and acute pulmonary hyperinflation. Cause of death was asphyxiation. The 62-year-old father was charged with murder. According to his statement in court, his drunk son had attempted to provoke him by playing right-wing extremist music at high volume, putting on a steel helmet, and placing a firework in his mouth which he then lit himself after the father had left the room. The father claimed that, in order to spare his daughter the sight of her deceased brother, he had sawed up the body of his son by hand and disposed it in the cesspit. As the father's version could not be disproved, he was acquitted.
