Fulminant Clostridium difficile-associated pouchitis with a fatal outcome.
Review in Nature reviews. Gastroenterology & hepatology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Background. A 61-year-old woman who had undergone an ileostomy closure 10 days previously presented to a tertiary medical center with abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, and oliguria. The patient had undergone a staged total proctocolectomy with ileal-pouch-anal anastomosis and a loop ileostomy 8 months previously to treat her steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis.Investigations. Physical examination, abdominal and pelvic CT scan, blood laboratory tests, pouch endoscopy, and fecal testing for Clostridium difficle toxins A and B.Diagnosis. Fulminant C. difficile-associated pouchitis and enteritis, which led to Psuedomonas aeruginosa septicemia, intravascular coagulopathy, acute renal failure, hemorrhagic ascites and respiratory failure and eventual death.Management. Intravenous hydration, aggressive therapy with oral and intravenous antibiotics, supportive care, hemodialysis, and intubation.
