Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundCongenital tufting enteropathy (CTE) is a rare cause of diarrhea in children. However, it can result in early-onset of chronic diarrhea and failure to thrive. Children with this disease have to depend on total parenteral nutrition (TPN), and eventually small intestine transplantation. The epithelial cell adhesion molecule ( CASE SUMMARY: A 1-year and 7-mo infant boy exhibited intractable watery diarrhea and mushy stool within 1 wk after birth, for which he had required medical treatment and hospitalization several times. His sister presented similar symptoms and died at the age of two. On admission, his body weight was 5700 g (-4.8SDS) and measured 66 cm (-5.4SDS) in height. Meanwhile, he cannot speak or climb. He exhibited mild anemia, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and an infection in the upper respiratory tract. Microvilli sparse and vacuolar degeneration of epithelial cells were reported by small intestine biopsy. Whole-exome sequencing showed a novel homozygous splice mutation (c.657+1[IVS6] G>A) in the EPCAM gene. He was treated with TPN and recombinant human growth hormone. After 2 mo, his body weight was up to 8500 g and he has been waiting for small bowel transplantation.
conclusionCTE is rare but fatal. Patients with CTE require rapid diagnosis and therapy to improve their survival.
