Chronic intestinal failure in children.
Review in Deutsches Arzteblatt international, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundChronic intestinal failure (CIF) in childhood is caused by congenital malformations and inflammatory diseases of the gut. Its reported prevalence is 13.7 per million population. Long-term home parenteral nutrition has dramatically improved the life expectancy and quality of life of children with CIF. The affected children are now treated with parenteral nutrition at home as soon as their medical state and family circumstances allow.
methodsThe authors present data from a patient registry and review publications retrieved by a selective literature search. RESULTS AND
conclusionChildren with CIF can now be expected to survive beyond adolescence, at the very least, and enjoy good quality of life. This goal can only be achieved if nutritional therapy is carried out safely and the affected children's development is closely monitored by an interdisciplinary team that consists of primary care physicians/family doctors, neonatologists, pediatric gastroenterologists, and pediatric surgeons. Moreover, the prevention, early detection, and appropriate treatment of complications such as infection, liver disease, renal dysfunction, and disturbances of bone metabolism is of vital importance. The patients' families must be supported by specially qualified ambulatory nurses and social workers. Treatment with parenteral, enteral, and oral nutrition and surgery enables most infants with CIF to meet all their nutritional needs orally by the time they start going to school. For children who suffer from intractable complications, intestinal transplantation provides a real and increasing chance of survival.
