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
Thornwaldt cysts are rare, benign nasopharyngeal remnants that often remain asymptomatic but can cause significant discomfort when symptomatic. This case report discusses an 18-year-old male who experienced a persistent foreign body sensation in his nose for 4 months. Initial investigations, including MRI, revealed a Thornwaldt cyst occupying 70% of the nasopharyngeal space. Diagnostic confirmation was obtained through nasal endoscopy and histopathological examination. The patient underwent successful endoscopic surgical excision of the cyst, resulting in complete symptom resolution. At a one-year follow-up, the patient remained symptom-free with no signs of recurrence. This case underscores the importance of recognizing Thornwaldt cysts in patients with nonspecific symptoms and highlights the efficacy of endoscopic surgical intervention for both symptom relief and prevention of recurrence. Accurate diagnosis using advanced imaging techniques and histopathological confirmation is crucial for appropriate management and favorable patient outcomes.
