Estimation of Risk of Death Attributable to Acute Gastroenteritis Not Caused by
Article in Clinical epidemiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThe role of an infectious agent may be unclear as the primary cause of death. Furthermore, many infections go undiagnosed, particularly if identification does not affect treatment. To circumvent the limitations of individual death attribution, a population-level assessment of the role of infectious acute gastroenteritis (AGE) was performed.
methodsUsing the Clinical Practice Research Datalink and the Office for National Statistics - Mortality Statistics, covering 16 million patients in the UK, we conducted a matched case-control study to estimate the odds of having AGE not due to
resultsThe odds of having AGE not caused by CDI was 4.6 times higher among fatal compared to non-fatal hospitalizations. The overall PAF was 1.7% for AGE not caused by CDI. The overall number of deaths attributable to AGE not caused by CDI among adults in England is estimated to be 5000 annually. DISCUSSION: Approximately 5000 of the 276,000 deaths that occur annually among hospitalized adults in England can be attributed to AGE not caused by CDI, which is higher than previously estimated.
