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
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a safe, non-invasive, economic and effective assisted circulation technique. It not only can improves multisystem disorders, but also reduces adverse event rates. EECP utilizes electrocardiogram-gated sequential inflation of cuffs wrapped around patient's lower extremities to increase blood flow perfusion of heart, which can improve myocardial ischemia of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Patients with CHD or heart failure or sleep disorder are suitable to receive EECP. But there are few reports on super elderly people. This is the first reported case of a 98-year-old patient with CHD, who accepted EECP. Patient was presented to hospital with complaints of "intermittent chest tightness for 12 years, worsening for 20 days." His medical history included lacunar infarction, as well as type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension. For the elderly patients reported in this case, the efficacy of medicine was limited and the surgical risk was high. After performing a course of EECP, The patient's symptoms of CHD adverse psychological conditions and sleep quality were improved. This report proved the effectiveness and safety of EECP to treat such super elderly patients with CHD, which provided evidence for the clinical application of EECP in such patients.
