Lymphocytic and collagenous colitis: an overview of so-called microscopic colitis.
Review in Nature reviews. Gastroenterology & hepatology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
The entity of 'microscopic colitis' is being diagnosed with increasing frequency and is a well-established clinicopathological diagnosis that is underpinned by a triad of watery diarrhea, normal results on endoscopy and characteristic microscopic findings. Careful histopathological evaluation and awareness of its numerous associations (especially with drugs and celiac disease) and mimics will lead to the correct diagnosis of microscopic colitis. The etiology of microscopic colitis remains enigmatic and is multifactorial with different elements being more influential in different individuals. Treatment includes antidiarrheal agents and anti-inflammatory drugs (including steroids). The purpose of this article is to provide some clarity on nomenclature, discuss the multitude of conditions that can occur synchronously or metachronously with microscopic colitis and their role in the etiopathogenesis of this condition, provide a detailed review of the pathological aspects of the disease and to briefly discuss treatment trends.
