Article in Annals of medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
background
methodsWe identified the patients with CDI using the national inpatient sample data from 2003 to 2014. We performed Poisson regression model and Kendall's tau-b correlation test for our analyses.
resultsAdjusted overall CDI prevalence did not significantly change during 2003-2014. In-hospital mortality of overall CDI did not significantly change during 2003-2008, then significantly decreased during 2008-2014. Severity of overall CDI significantly increased during 2003-2008, then decreased during 2008-2014. The proportions of patients with age
conclusionsCompared to the earlier years 2003-2008, overall CDI outcome improved in the later years 2008-2014. Younger patients increasingly contributed to CDI prevalence, mortality, and severity during 2003-2014. More studies to understand underlying driving forces of changes in CDI trends are warranted to mitigate CDI.
