High inspired oxygen versus low inspired oxygen for reducing surgical site infection: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International wound journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04299737 (Improving Case Selection for Perioperative S. Aureus Transmission Surveillance to Reduce Surgical Site Infections), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
To perform a meta-analysis of published literature to assess the role of high-concentration inspired oxygen in reducing the incidence of surgical site infections (SSIs) following all types of surgery, a comprehensive search for published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing high- with low-concentration inspired oxygen for SSIs was performed. The related data were extracted by two independent authors. The fixed and random effects methods were used to combine data. Twelve RCTs involving 6750 patients were included. Our pooled result found that no significant difference in the incidence of SSIs was observed between the two groups, but there was high statistic heterogeneity across the studies [risk ratio (RR): 0·91; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0·72-1·14; P = 0·40; I
