Acute Colonic Pseudo-Obstruction.
Review in Clinics in colon and rectal surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO) is a functional disorder of the large intestine distinguished by colonic dysmotility resulting in colonic distension in the absence of mechanical obstruction. The underlying pathophysiology of ACPO remains unclear despite technological advances in understanding the physiology of colonic motility, such as spatio-temporal mapping and high-resolution manometry. In many ways, the management of ACPO has remained relatively unchanged for 40 years. Patients with perforation or suspected ischemia undergo operative intervention, while patients without undergo initial conservative management with bowel rest, correction of electrolyte disturbances, and mobilization. Patients who fail conservative management or have prominent cecal dilatation undergo decompression with either neostigmine or colonoscopy. A subset of patients with ACPO will have recurrent symptoms despite endoscopic and medical management. For these patients who are difficult to manage, an underlying colonic functional disorder, such as slow-transit dysmotility or chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction may be considered. The following review of ACPO aims to provide a concise update of the causes, diagnosis, and management of this emergency surgical condition.
