Phlegmonous Gastritis: A Case Report of Successful Early Antibiotic Treatment.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Phlegmonous gastritis (PG) is a rare and serious bacterial infection of the gastric submucosa. Diagnosis is often delayed due to nonspecific symptoms, but if recognized early, PG may be treated successfully with medical therapy alone. We describe a case of a 47-year-old patient admitted with gastrointestinal symptoms and sepsis. He was found to have beta-hemolytic streptococcus bacteremia with a purulent gastric ulcer on endoscopic evaluation, consistent with the diagnosis of PG. Though surgical evaluation is often required in cases of PG, our patient quickly improved with parenteral antibiotic therapy. This case highlights an uncommon source of sepsis and demonstrates the success of antibiotic monotherapy with early recognition.
