Colonic Carcinoma Associated with Malakoplakia.
Article in The West Indian medical journal, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Malakoplakia is an unusual chronic inflammatory response first described in the genitourinary tract by Michaelis and Gutmann in 1902. It is now known to occur in other locations including the gastrointestinal tract, skin, lungs and the central nervous system. Malakoplakia has been frequently misdiagnosed clinically as a malignant lesion. Similarly, when it occurs in the gastrointestinal tract (eg colon) in association with adenocarcinoma, it may lead to clinical and radiological overstaging of the tumour.
