Fothergill and Carnett signs and rectus sheath hematoma.
Article in Journal of rural medicine : JRM, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Fothergill and Carnett signs are used to distinguish intrabdominal from abdominal wall diseases. These bedside techniques may be useful in distinguishing intrabdominal from an abdominal wall cause of disease. Timely and accurate diagnosis of rectus sheath hematoma in at risk patients in the appropriate clinical setting is important because of the associated morbidity and mortality associated with this condition. Diagnosis requires an accurate and thorough history and bedside physical examination and performance of these maneuvers as originally described.
