Mesenteric fibrosis--a histologic marker of previous blunt abdominal trauma in early childhood.
Article in International journal of legal medicine, 2010. 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
A girl aged 21 months and a boy aged 3 years both died of hemorrhage from intestinal and mesenteric lacerations due to inflicted blunt abdominal trauma. Histologic examination of sections from the areas of duodenal and mesenteric lacerations confirmed changes of acute injury with hemorrhage, acute inflammatory infiltrates, and surface fibrin deposition. In addition, in both cases, there was also evidence of much longer-standing trauma with mesenteric fibrosis and hemosiderin-containing macrophages (the latter in keeping with previous hemorrhage). In the absence of a history of surgery and local inflammatory disease, these findings suggest that these children had suffered previous abdominal trauma, possibly from similar types of injuries. Scarring of the mesentery and intestine in cases of lethal childhood blunt abdominal trauma may provide evidence of previous similar, significant although sublethal tissue damage. Extensive histologic sampling of abdominal organs and tissues including the mesentery can, therefore, be extremely useful in such cases.
