Review in Therapeutic advances in gastroenterology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
introductionSome studies suggest that the accuracy of
methodsA systematic search was carried out in seven databases until November 2019. We collected or calculated true and false positive and negative values, and constructed 2×2 diagnostic contingency tables with reference standards including histology, rapid urease test, urea breath test, serology, stool antigen test, culture, and polymerase chain reaction. We ranked the index tests by the superiority indices (SI) and calculated pooled sensitivity and specificity of each test. DISCUSSION: Our search yielded 40 eligible studies with 27 different diagnostic strategies for
conclusionUse of combined tests may have a rationale in clinical practice due to their higher sensitivities. The differences between the included DTA studies limited the comparison of the testing strategies.
