[Neonatal caecal perforation revealing congenital megacolon].
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Spontaneous intestinal perforations are rare in a full term new-born. We report the case of an infant born at 41 weeks' gestation who, three days after birth, had pneumoperitoneum revealing congenital megacolon. Surgical exploration showed diastatic perforation of the cecum associated with a disparity in rectosigmoid caliber. The patient underwent emergency caecostomy after peritoneal washing. Histological examination of the biopsy specimens confirmed the diagnosis of congenital megacolon. The postoperative course was simple and radical treatment was performed six months later.
