Rifaximin Treatment of Collagenous Colitis: A Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial.
Article in Inflammatory intestinal diseases. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Collagenous colitis (CC) is a disabling disease primarily affecting elderly women. Sparse, well-documented treatment modalities exist, except for budesonide. Long-term and repetitive treatment with budesonide is often necessary. Rifaximin is a poorly absorbed antibiotic with a positive modulatory effect on gut microbiota. In this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled single-centre trial, we test the effect of adding rifaximin in continuation to budesonide on relapse rates in CC. Methods: Eligible patients with active, biopsy-verified CC received oral budesonide during a 6-week open-label induction phase. Patients in clinical remission after 4 weeks of treatment were randomised to receive either rifaximin or placebo for 4 weeks. Results: Fifteen patients were randomised to receive either rifaximin ( Conclusion: Although not statistically significant (
