Acute colonic pseudoobstruction.
Review in Clinics in colon and rectal surgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
Acute colonic pseudoobstruction (ACPO), often referred to as Ogilvie syndrome, is a clinical entity characterized by severe colonic distension (adult acute megacolon) in the absence of mechanical obstruction. It can result in abdominal ischemia and perforation if left untreated. This article discusses the epidemiology and current pathophysiologic theories of ACPO as well as the clinical presentation and diagnostic modalities utilized to identify the disease. In addition, this article describes the current treatment options for ACPO, which range from conservative medical therapy, therapeutic endoscopy, to subtotal colectomy.
