Microscopic colitis syndrome--a review article.
Review in Journal of the National Medical Association, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Diarrhea is a common symptom worldwide and especially so in developing countries. Whereas better diagnostic modalities in the developed world have helped to elucidate the causes of diarrhea, the situation in developing countries is not the same. Rather, most diarrhea cases are assumed to be of infective origin, and many people self-medicate. However, such a prevailing situation is unlikely to be correct, and it denies appropriate treatment to patients with other noninfective causes of diarrhea. This review is on microscopic colitis syndrome, a recently described cause of chronic diarrhea in which there is a dearth of publication from the developing countries.
