Repeated Clostridium difficile infection after living donor liver transplantation.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Liver transplant recipients are considered to be at high risk for Clostridium difficile infection, with an incidence of 2.7-8.0%, which is three times higher than that among other patients. A case of a patient who suffered from pseudomembranous colitis five times after living donor liver transplantation is reported. A 60-year-old woman underwent splenectomy and living donor liver transplantation using the left lobe of her spouse for primary biliary cirrhosis. The patient made a satisfactory recovery, except for splenic vein thrombosis. She was discharged on postoperative day 36; however, she developed pseudomembranous colitis due to Clostridium difficile infection five times within 6 months after transplant and was treated with oral vancomycin each time. At the fifth recurrence of pseudomembranous colitis, the patient received vancomycin taper treatment, dietary counseling, and repeat instructions regarding hand hygiene and house cleaning. The patient recovered and is currently well without recurrence of Clostridium difficile infection 36 months after living donor liver transplantation.
