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
Background and Objectives: Fever of unknown origin (FUO) has long been a cause for concern among clinicians, and its spectrum has evolved with progress in medicine. This study aimed to investigate the distribution of causes of FUO in China between 2013 and 2022 to facilitate the clinical understanding of the etiology of FUO. Materials and Methods: Case series of FUO in China published between 2013 and 2022 were retrieved from PubMed, Wanfang Data, and CNKI databases and retrospectively analyzed. The rates of different causes of FUO were calculated, and these data were compared with previously published distributions of causes of FUO in China. Results: The causes of FUO with the highest rates from the 51 identified case series ( Conclusion: Despite an overall increase in the rate attributed to infectious diseases, that attributed to tuberculosis has decreased. The rates attributed to both autoimmune and neoplastic diseases have also decreased.
