Appendicitis in obese children.
Review in Pediatric surgery international, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
During the past two decades, the incidence of childhood obesity has increased at alarming rates throughout the world. Obesity is associated with a variety of physiological changes that may impair a patient's response to surgery. With the rising rates of childhood obesity, pediatric surgeons must appreciate differences in the management and outcomes of these patients. Difficult physical examination, elevated inflammatory blood markers, and negative influence of obesity on the detection rate of the appendix on ultrasound have been reported causing diagnostic challenging of appendicitis in obese children. Moreover, obesity is associated with longer hospital stay and higher morbidity and minimal invasive techniques' superior outcomes over open technique in children undergoing appendectomy.
