The challenge of post-operative peritonitis after gastrointestinal surgery.
Review in Updates in surgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Post-operative peritonitis (PP) is a life-threatening hospital-acquired intra-abdominal infection with high rates of mortality. Diffuse PP remains a challenge for surgeons. Prognosis and outcome of patients are directly related to early diagnosis and prompt intervention. The diagnosis of PP may be difficult because there are no specific clinical signs and laboratory tests to reject or confirm the diagnosis. Atypical clinical features may be responsible for a delay in reoperation. An early diagnosis and prompt treatment is crucial to prevent the development of organ failure and improve the outcome of the patients with PP. The cornerstones in the management of patients with PP are early hemodynamic support, prompt source control and adequate antimicrobial therapy.
