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
Diabetes is the most common metabolic disease. Type 2 diabetes is a variable combination of insulin resistance and disorder in insulin secretion, leading to disorder of lipids and plasma lipoproteins. The most common pattern of dyslipidemia in diabetic is high triglyceride (TG) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). This study was conducted to find a more effective drug to increase HDL-C. In this study, 80 patients (26 males and 54 females) with type 2 diabetes received fenofibrate in cross-sectional way for 2 months, and they did not take antilipid drugs for 2 month. Then, they underwent atorvastatin for 2 months and HDL-C was measured before and after taking drugs. Patients did not change their diet during this study. Effect of atorvastatin and fenofibrate on HDL-C levels in patients with type 2 diabetes was evaluated. The mean HDL-C and total cholesterol (TC) before and after taking drugs were 36.5 mg/dL and 174.56 mg/dL, respectively. After atorvastatin, the mean HDL-C and TC were 43.30 and 150.144 mg/dL, respectively, and after fenofibrate, 43.40 were mg/dL and 146.36 mg/dL, respectively. Atorvastatin caused increase in HDL-C by 18.44% and reduction in TC by 13.82% and fenofibrate increase in HDL-C by18.62% and reduction in TC by 16.05%. No difference was seen between atorvastatin and fenofibrate in terms of effect on the HDL-C excess (
