Article in Surgery research and practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Pediatric surgical situations are often disregarded around the world, particularly in developing countries. The number of children hospitalized for surgical reasons has climbed dramatically. There is extensive research on the management outcome of pediatric surgical admissions in industrialized countries, but developing countries have paid little attention to it. Furthermore, to the best of the authors' knowledge, there has been no research in the study area on the management outcome of pediatric surgical patient admission. Objective: To assess management outcome and factors associated with pediatric surgical patients admitted to Arbaminch General Hospital, Southern Ethiopia, 2021. Method: An institution-based retrospective cross-sectional study design was employed among 265 children with surgical problems. Data were collected from patients' medical records using pretested data collection checklist. Epi Data 4.2 was used to enter data, and data were exported to SPSS version 25 for analysis. Those variables with Result: A total of 265 surgically admitted children were included in this study. About 26% of study subjects were discharged with unfavorable management outcome. Children admitted due to trauma cause (AOR: 5.753, 95% CI: 2.366-13.987), children with a preexisting medical condition (AOR: 3.240, 95% CI: 1.436-7.310), children with an early complication (AOR: 2.515, 95% CI: 1.130-5.599), presenting to hospital ≥24 hr after the onset (AOR:8.351, 95% CI: 2.089-33.381), hospital stay >7 days (AOR: 10.671, 95% CI: 1.363-83.546), and children treated with surgery (AOR: 2.742, 95% CI: 1.137-6.611) were associated with unfavorable management outcome.
