Hirschsprung's Disease in Adults Revealed by an Occlusive Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Hirschsprung's disease (HD) in adults is rare, occurring before the age of five years in 90% of cases. It is characterized by the absence of ganglion cells in a colorectal segment, resulting in functional obstruction and an upstream colonic dilatation. HD should be considered in front of any history of chronic constipation. The diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical, manometric, radiological, and histological findings. Surgery is the basis of the treatment and consists of the resection of the aganglionic segment, followed by restoration of continuity between the two healthy segments. We report here the case of a 20-year-old man who presented to the ER with an occlusive syndrome, which initially required a loop colostomy for decompression. History, clinical presentation, and radiological findings were suggestive of HD, but additional diagnostic methods including manometry and biopsy were employed but proved negative. Given the available data, the patient underwent a colectomy with a latero-terminal ileorectal anastomosis. Histological findings of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of HD
