Impact of Gastrointestinal Panel Implementation on Health Care Utilization and Outcomes.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 56 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
PCR-based multiplex gastrointestinal (GI) pathogen panels have started to replace stool culture and ova and parasite exam as a rapid and accurate means of diagnosing acute gastroenteritis. However, there are limited data on the impact of panel testing on patient outcomes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the management and health care utilization of patients following GI panel compared with conventional stool testing. We performed a retrospective comparative analysis of 9,402 patients who underwent testing with the FilmArray GI panel from March 2015 through May 2017 and 5,986 patients who underwent conventional stool testing from December 2012 through February 2015. GI panel was positive in 2,746 exams (29.2%) compared with 246 exams (4.1%) with conventional testing. Within 30 days following stool testing, compared with patients who received a conventional stool test, patients who received a GI panel were less likely to undergo any endoscopic procedure (8.4% GI panel versus 9.6% stool culture,
