Advances in the treatment of travelers' diarrhea.
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 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
Diarrhea is the most common complaint reported by travelers from industrialized countries visiting developing nations. High-risk areas for travelers' diarrhea (TD) include South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America, while moderate-risk areas include Southeast Asia, Middle East, Oceania and the Caribbean. Bacterial pathogens are the major cause of TD. Recent advances in the therapy for diarrhea include a better understanding of the potential benefit of symptomatic and antimicrobial therapy. The mainstay of treatment includes antibacterial therapy with one of three drugs, a fluoroquinolone, rifaximin, or azithromycin. Probiotics have been used in preliminary studies for both treatment and prevention of TD, but more studies are needed with these biologic agents. The aim of this review is to identify the recent advances in the therapy of TD and to provide recommendations for treatment during international travel.
