Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Colitis Secondary to Complicated Acute Diverticulitis: A Rare Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
A 33-year-old obese female with a recent diagnosis of acute diverticulitis (AD) was admitted to the hospital for severe abdominal pain, intractable nausea and vomiting, and diarrhea two days following oral antibiotic treatment for AD. Stool cultures collected upon her readmission were negative for Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) antigen and toxins A and B, but were notable for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). She was started on intravenous (IV) piperacillin/tazobactam, IV vancomycin, and an oral liquid vancomycin solution, which resulted in rapid resolution of her symptoms. Unfortunately, her symptoms recurred two weeks later and she eventually underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection (LAR) of her colon for continued diverticulitis. This resulted in complete and continued resolution of her symptoms.
