Bowel obstruction: a narrative review for all physicians.
Review in World journal of emergency surgery : WJES, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05253222 (Methodology and Clinical Value of Retrograde Imaging Technique in Intestinal Obstructive Diseases Mediated by Colonic Transendoscopic Enteral Tubing), which is not on this map. Cited by 88 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
Small and large bowel obstructions are responsible for approximately 15% of hospital admissions for acute abdominal pain in the USA and ~ 20% of cases needing acute surgical care. Starting from the analysis of a common clinical problem, we want to guide primary care physicians in the initial management of a patient presenting with acute abdominal pain associated with intestinal obstruction.
