Ileostomy diarrhea.
Article in Current treatment options in gastroenterology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Ileostomy diarrhea is not an uncommon problem and can lead to considerable loss of quality of life. Unfortunately, well-designed therapeutic trials are lacking, and thus, treatment of patients with ileostomy diarrhea remains largely empiric. The majority of individuals will have "idiopathic" ileostomy diarrhea, or increased output due to proctocolectomy with limited ileal resection alone. Once other, less common causes are excluded, empiric treatment should be initiated with the safest, least costly option. In general, this consists of a dietary evaluation and symptomatic treatment with loperamide and advancing as needed to other, more expensive options, frequently with an increase in side effect profile. Other more recently evaluated treatment options include budesonide and oleic acid; however, efficacy has only been demonstrated in preliminary studies; further evaluation is needed. Limited data exist regarding success of surgical therapy such as reversed peristaltic ileal segments. It remains to be seen if surgery, other than ileostomy revision, has a role in the treatment of ileostomy diarrhea.
