Outcomes After Surgery for Benign and Malignant Small Bowel Obstruction.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05229822 (Prognostic Significance of Bacterial Translocation Markers as Predictors of Infectious and Inflammatory Complications in Acute Mechanical Bowel Obstruction), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundSmall bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common diagnosis; however, outcomes of and risk factors for SBO and malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) surgery are not well understood. We sought to characterize outcomes and risk factors for surgery for SBO and MBO.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was performed utilizing prospectively collected data from the Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative (7/2012-3/2015). Cases included those with ICD9 diagnosis code of bowel obstruction and CPT codes for lysis of adhesions, intestinal bypass, and small bowel resection. Cases were stratified by disseminated malignancy (MBO). Factors associated with complications and 30-day mortality were evaluated.
resultsTwo thousand two hundred thirty-three patients underwent surgery for bowel obstruction, including 86 patients (3.9 %) with MBO. MBO patients had an adjusted mortality rate of 14.5 % (benign 5.0 %); the adjusted complication rate was 32.2 % (benign 27.0 %). Factors independently associated with mortality included disseminated cancer, older age, American Society of Anesthesiologists IV/V, cirrhosis, ascites, urinary tract infection, sepsis, albumin <3.5, hematocrit <30, and bowel resection.
conclusionsSurgery for bowel obstruction carries a relatively high risk for morbidity and mortality, particularly in patients with malignant bowel obstruction. Considering the identified risk factors for mortality may help clinicians make recommendations regarding surgery in the setting of MBO.
