Managing acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the acute assessment unit.
Article in Clinical medicine (London, England), 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
AAUs should develop and review protocols and local guidelines for the multidisciplinary team management of upper GI bleeding, for example with respect to: Early and appropriate resuscitation. Use of the tools for assessing severity. Timing of endoscopy, including recognising low-risk patients who could be discharged for outpatient investigation. Postendoscopy drug treatment, including appropriate and limited use of iv PPIs and Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy. Follow up, including referral for repeat endoscopy and/or urea breath testing. Regular review and audit of local guidance of the management of UGIB should become an integral part of an acute trust's clinical governance programme.
