Laparoscopic surgery for crohn disease: a brief review of the literature.
Review in Clinics in colon and rectal surgery, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Crohn disease remains a challenging clinical entity, both medically and surgically. It frequently presents in early adulthood and imposes a lifetime exposure to chronic inflammation that can affect the entire gastrointestinal tract. Although the mainstay of therapy is treatment with immunomodulating drugs, ∼70 to 90% of patients with Crohn disease will ultimately require surgery. Furthermore, there are high rates of symptomatic recurrences that may also require surgical intervention over time. There is no definitive cure for Crohn disease and surgery is reserved for failed medical therapy or the complications of the disease, namely, obstruction, septic complications (abscess, perforation), and fistulas. However, the robust inflammatory environment during these periods is not always conducive to a minimally invasive surgical approach. Despite the inherent technical challenges, the literature has increasingly shown that laparoscopy for Crohn disease, in the appropriate setting, is feasible and safe. In fact, it offers many advantages, which are particularly beneficial to this subset of patients, such as fewer wound complications, a shortened hospital course, less tissue trauma and subsequent adhesion formation, and earlier resumption of oral intake and bowel function.
