Major Lower Limb Amputations: Recognizing Pitfalls.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Major lower extremity amputations have been an area of much concern in the Caribbean population. Hence, the purpose of this research was to investigate the current trends in major lower-extremity amputations. Data regarding all major lower-extremity amputations performed at a tertiary care institution in Trinidad and Tobago, from January 2010 to December 2016 were reviewed. The variation of yearly trends, gender, type of amputation and reason for amputation were analysed. The yearly amputation rate demonstrated a progressive increase from 2010 to 2016, the average for the seven years was 28 per 10
