A Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Hospital Readmissions Following Acute Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding.
Article in Cureus, 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
This protocol outlines the planned methodology for a systematic review and meta-analysis. The primary objective of the review is to identify all-cause readmission rates for individuals hospitalized for an upper GI bleed (UGIB). Secondary objectives will include GI bleed-specific readmission rates, mortality (all-cause and GI bleed-specific), readmission diagnosis, and length of stay on readmission visit. High-risk subgroups will also be explored including age, sex, type of GI bleed (e.g., variceal or not), anti-coagulation status, and comorbidity status. Through this review, the research team aims to describe an important quality indicator, which has implications for both patient safety post-discharge after an UGIB and healthcare resource utilization.
