Understanding the Spectrum of Flood Syndrome: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Flood syndrome refers to ruptured umbilical hernias in patients with chronic ascites with underlying liver cirrhosis. These ruptures may introduce infection into the abdomen and hence require emergency surgery. However, these patients are at high risk during these procedures owing to coagulopathy, hypotension and electrolyte imbalances. In our series, we describe six patients who presented with varying degrees of severity and were treated with a standardised protocol of primary anatomic repair and drain placement. Furthermore, we assessed the Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores in these patients and correlated them to postoperative outcomes. This surgical technique has a good outcome in patients whose CTP and MELD scores predict a safe postoperative period.
