Gastric perforation through a hiatus hernia into the left lung in an 84-year-old woman.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
An 84-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a sudden onset of chest pain, shortness of breath and vomiting. She had a medical history of hiatus hernia, gastro-oesophgeal reflux disease and asthma only, but had several recent courses of oral steroids to treat her asthma. Initially she was hypoxic, tachycardic and normotensive. ECG was normal, chest X-ray showed a hiatus hernia and right middle zone consolidation. Inflammatory markers were normal. CT angiogram was performed to exclude aortic pathology, for which it was negative. It did however show a large hiatus hernia which had perforated and was communicating with the left lung. The patient deteriorated clinically and became hypotensive and more hypoxic. She was transferred to the intensive care unit but died 36 hours later as she was too unwell to undergo any exploratory surgery.
