Fecal incontinence.
Article in Current treatment options in gastroenterology, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fecal incontinence is a multifactorial disorder that is often poorly understood and treated primarily by practicing physicians. Fecal impaction with overflow incontinence can be identified by patient history and physical examination and can be appropriately treated. For the remaining patients, diarrhea is a common aggravating factor that is frequently modulated by dietary changes, antidiarrheal agents, and occasionally by bile salt binders. When patients do not respond to conservative therapy, diagnostic studies to evaluate anorectal continence mechanisms are very helpful. Available therapies include biofeedback and pelvic floor retraining, surgery, and in the future, sacral nerve stimulation in carefully selected patients.
