Recurrent Emergency Department Users: Two Categories with Different Risk Profiles.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Recurrent emergency department (ED) visits are responsible for an increasing proportion of overcrowding. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the characteristics and prevalence of recurrent ED visitors as well as to determine risk factors associated with multiple ED visits. ED patients visiting the ED of a tertiary care hospital at least four times consecutively in 2015 were enrolled. Of 33,335 primary ED visits, 1921 ED visits (5.8%) were performed by 372 ED patients who presented in the ED at least four times within the one-year period. Two different categories of recurrent ED patients were identified: repeated ED users presenting always with the same symptoms and frequent ED visitors who were suffering from different symptoms on each ED visit. Repeated ED users had more ED visits (
