Management of Giant Omphalocele Leading to Early Fascial Closure.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective The aim of the study was to present the clinical outcomes of patients diagnosed with giant omphalocele, treated with early primary closure combined with bandaging and povidone-iodine staining and powder spray antibiotics. Materials and methods The study included a total of 22 infants with omphalocele. The omphalocele sacs of the patients were cleaned daily with topical povidone-iodine. A powdered spray antibiotic combination was then applied topically twice a day and the sac was wrapped in a sterile elastic bandage. Following the observation of eschar formation and epithelization, the patients were operated on in the early period and the sac was removed by placing a graft. Results Evaluation was made of a total of 14 female and eight male patients with mean duration of conservative monitoring of 11 days and mean total hospital stay of 35. The mean giant omphalocele (GO) defect size of the patients followed-up was 10 cm. Since seven of the patients in the present study died in the 1
