Common anorectal conditions: evaluation and treatment.
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Anorectal conditions are frequently encountered clinical entities but are often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. Although the most common anorectal disorders are not considered life threatening, they can negatively impact patients' activities of daily living and quality of life. Comprehensive anorectal examination, including the use of anoscopy, has become a "lost art," and graduate medical education programs should utilize more formal training in this area. This review discusses the comprehensive anorectal exam and the diagnosis and management of three common anorectal disorders: hemorrhoids, anal fissure, and pruritus ani.
