Neonatal gastrointestinal perforation in Japan: a nationwide survey.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
purposeThe purpose of this study is to identify the current clinical features of neonatal gastrointestinal perforation in Japan.
methodsA questionnaire about cases of neonatal gastrointestinal perforation treated in recent 5 years was sent to participating institutions of the Japanese Society of Pediatric Surgeons (JSPS).
resultsFive hundred and thirty-six neonates with gastrointestinal perforation were treated. They consisted of 42 patients with gastric rupture/perforation (GR), 33 patients with intestinal atresia/stenosis (IA), 3 patients with malrotation (ML), 118 patients with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), 160 patients with focal intestinal perforation (FIP), 46 patients with meconium-related ileus (MRI), 77 patients with meconium peritonitis (MP), and 57 patients with other conditions. The total mortality rate was 20.5 %. The mortality rates of the patients with GR, IA, ML, NEC, FIP, MRI, and MP were 9.5, 9.1, 0, 33.1, 20.6, 28.2, and 9.1 %, respectively. In 263 cases involving extremely low-birth-weight neonates (ELBW), 108 died (mortality rate 41.1 %). The mortality rates for ELBW with GR, NEC, FIP, MRI, MP, and other conditions were 27.3 % (3/11), 58.5 % (48/82), 21.6 % (24/111), 70.6 % (24/34), 57.1 % (4/7), and 27.8 % (5/18), respectively.
conclusionsThe mortality rates for ELBW decreased from 62.8 % in the previous survey to 41.1 % by the time of this survey.
