Can the intestinal dysmotility of critical illness be differentiated from postoperative ileus?
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Gastrointestinal dysmotility is commonly noted in the intensive care unit and postoperative settings. Characterized by delayed passage of stool and flatus, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distention, the condition is associated with nutritional deficiencies, risk of aspiration, and considerable allocation of health care resources. Knowledge of gastrointestinal function in health and illness continues to expand. While the factors that precipitate ileus differ between postoperative and critically ill patients, the two clinical scenarios seem to have similar mechanisms and share many of the same pathophysiologic patterns. By reviewing and comparing the literature on the respective mechanisms and contributing factors generated in these separate clinical settings, a common more comprehensive management strategy may be derived with the potential for newer innovative therapeutic options.
