Role of multidetector computed tomography in patients with acute infectious colitis.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. 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
backgroundThe role of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in patients with acute infectious colitis is still unclear.
aimTo examine the usefulness of MDCT in distinguishing the etiology of acute infectious colitis.
methodsOverall, 244 patients who met the criteria for acute infectious colitis and visited the Hospital from February 2015 to 2018 were retrospectively enrolled and divided into two groups (bacterial: 204, viral: 40) according to causes of acute colitis, based on stool PCR. Eleven MDCT parameters, including wall thickening, submucosal edema, mucosal enhancement, serosa involvement, empty colon sign, small bowel involvement, comb sign, continuous distribution, accordion sign, mucosal thickening, and lymph node enlargement, were constructed in a blinded fashion.
resultsMDCT parameters of wall thickening (OR: 13.60; 95%CI: 5.80-31.88;
conclusionMDCT provides many clues that can be useful in suggesting a specific etiology of acute infectious colitis.
