Inappropriate use of proton pump inhibitors.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundProton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used expensive medications.
aimsWe performed a cross-sectional study to determine the extent and indication of PPI use in Irish acute medical wards.
methodsFifty-five medical charts were reviewed at the beginning and end of 1 month. RESULTS AND
conclusionsThirty-three patients were prescribed PPIs; 26 prior to admission. The prescribing of PPIs was concordant with guideline recommendations in only 30% of cases. Two-thirds of PPI use was unlicensed.
