Bowel obstruction and perforation secondary to progressive heterotopic mesenteric ossificans.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Heterotopic mesenteric ossification (HMO) is a rare condition which usually affects male patients. Its defining feature is hyperdense ossification in the mesentery, usually following surgery or trauma. Due to potentially serious complications that can arise from HMO, it is essential to recognize it in its nascent stages. In this case study, a 65-year-old male was imaged by CT scan serially over several years for recurrent bowel obstruction as a result of worsening HMO, providing new insight into the natural progression of this condition. Mechanical injury of the bowel eventually caused perforation and abscess formation.
