Operative versus non-operative management for perforated peptic ulcer disease.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 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
Perforated peptic ulcer (PPU) treatment guidelines are still up for discussion. Due to the morbidity and mortality linked to each, the use of both operative and non-operative management, including conservative and endoscopic treatment, is still debatable. A standardized protocol has been used to write a best evidence topic. The discussion focused on whether operative management for PPU is preferable to non-operational management or vice versa. MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, and the Web of Science were the databases used to conduct an electronic search of the pertinent literature. We found 56 articles, out of these only 5 studies were found to be appropriate to answer the question. The outcome assessed was failure of management. The best evidence showed that both operative and non-operative management can be used with similar outcomes depending on the patient selection for each category.
