Colonic perforation revealed by massive subcutaneous emphysema.
Article in International journal of critical illness and injury science. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We present the case of an 82-year-old woman admitted in the intensive care unit with a septic shock caused by a liver abscess. She underwent an emergency laparotomy for abscess drainage and microbiological sampling. In the early postoperative period, she developed a massive subcutaneous emphysema (SE) extending from the abdomen to the head, without obvious cause. A surgical complication was suspected; thus, the patient underwent a second laparotomy which revealed a perforated peritonitis. SE is a rare presentation of perforated peritonitis, which should be known by critical care physicians in order to avoid a misdiagnosis of this life-threatening pathology.
