Group A Streptococcal Peritonitis and Toxic Shock Syndrome in a Postmenopausal Woman.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
We herein report the case of a 66-year-old woman presenting with symptoms of gastroenteritis. Computed tomography showed small-bowel dilation without ischemic signs. After admission, she went into shock and was treated for sepsis of unknown origin. She was later diagnosed with group A streptococcal peritonitis due to an ascending vaginal infection. This case highlights the importance of considering Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infection as a cause of peritonitis in postmenopausal women.
