Idiopathic spontaneous pneumoperitoneum.
Article in Proceedings (Baylor University. Medical Center), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Spontaneous pneumoperitoneum is the presence of free air in the peritoneum without evidence of any perforation of hollow viscera. The usual presentation includes acute abdominal pain with leukocytosis and elevated inflammatory markers. Here we present a case of spontaneous pneumoperitoneum occurring recurrently in a 58-year-old man with inclusion body myositis and hypertension who presented with cellulitis of both legs. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated retroperitoneal free air; however, colonoscopy, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and a prior laparoscopy did not demonstrate any perforation of hollow viscera. Conservative management with antibiotics and symptom control with antiemetics and pain medicines led to clinical improvement, and the patient was discharged home in stable condition.
