A complicated case of terminal ileitis post-COVID-19 infection requiring bowel resection.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been reports of children developing systemic hyperinflammatory response to COVID-19 infection, known as Paediatric Inflammatory Multisystem Syndrome Temporally associated with SARS-COV-2 (PIMS-TS). Here we would like to discuss a case of a 15-year-old male with PIMS-TS presenting as complicated terminal ileitis, requiring ileocaecal resection. Histopathologic findings of the ileocaecal specimen revealed thickened bowel mucosa, with features of granulomatous inflammation similar to Crohn's disease, without features of intestinal vasculitis or viral particles. His post-operative course was complicated by fresh rectal bleeding, requiring urgent blood transfusion and endoscopy. Source of bleeding was not identified and his bleeding self-resolved. Gut biopsies of the remaining bowel taken during endoscopy were normal. Although this case suggests that the inflammatory process is focal to the terminal ileum with a good short-term prognosis, further follow-up is required to assess for long-term effects and risks of bowel disease.
