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
<p>Objective(s): The influence of geomagnetic storms (GMSs) on humans has long been questioned. The aim of this study was to assess GMS influence on the functional cardiovascular parameters and human well-being depending on the presence of arterial hypertension, drug therapy, and smoking status.
methodsThe study participants (n = 31) were analyzed for systolic blood pressure (SBP), vascular stiffness index (VSI), Baevsky stress index (BI) and other indicеs during quiet day and GMS day (K-index >5). Well-being was assessed using a validated "САН" questionnaire (SAN).
resultsDuring GMS, significant SBP decrease was noted among "not taking medications" (108.0 [100.0; 110.0] vs. 103.5 [98.0; 110.0], p = 0.03); SBP increase was noted among "smokers" (120.0 [120.0; 130.0] vs. 130.0 [122.0; 145.0], p = 0.06). VSI decrease was noted during GMS, but significant differences in VSI were obtained among persons without hypertension (2.5 [-11.2; 14.6] vs. -5.3 [-17.6; 6.2], p = 0.04) and "non-smokers" (6.05 [-8.85; 13.5] vs. 0.3 [-10.2; 6.9], p = 0.01). BI increase during GMS was obtained among hypertensive patients and "smokers." The total SAN questionnaire score decreased during GMS, especially among persons without hypertension (173.0 [159.0; 178.0] vs. 158.0 [125.0; 168.0], p = 0.03) and "not taking medications" (175.5 [173.0; 189.0] vs. 157.5 [156.0; 162.0], p = 0.04). β-Blockers and combined drug therapy had a protective effect on the prevention of SAN score decrease (RR 0.31 [0.12; 0.84] and RR 0.54 [0.33; 0.88]).
conclusionThis study confirmed GMS influence on functional cardiovascular parameters and human well-being depending on the presence of arterial hypertension, drug therapy, and smoking status. A protective effect of some drugs was noted on the manifestation of "magnetosensitivity" symptoms. </p>.
