Congenital chloride diarrhoea.
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, 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
Congenital chloride diarrhoea is one of the rare causes of diarrhoea during infancy and it is infrequently reported throughout the world. It is an autosomal recessive condition which is more prevalent in Poland, Finland, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait while rarely reported in Pakistan. Our patient was 7.5-month-old baby boy who presented with diarrhoea since neonatal period. He had consanguineous parents. On examination, baby had distended abdomen, hypotonia and hyporeflexia. Investigations revealed hypochloremic hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis. Urinary electrolytes were normal. Stool electrolytes revealed increased stool chloride excretion that confirmed our diagnosis of congenital chloride diarrhoea. Patient was treated with intravenous fluids and electrolyte replacement, followed by oral potassium and sodium replacement. He was also started on butyrate, cholestyramine and proton-pump inhibitors. He started gaining weight during his hospital admission and is being followed up in clinic.
