The Backup That Led to a Blackout: Syncope and Severe Constipation.
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
Syncope is a common presentation in the emergency department (ED); however, it is rarely due to stercoral proctocolitis causing inferior vena cava (IVC) compression. We describe the case of a young male patient who presented to the ED after having a syncopal episode. Through obtaining a detailed history and physical exam, he was found to have abdominal distention and endorsed constipation. He was diagnosed with severe fecal impaction causing stercoral proctocolitis and IVC compression causing intermittent syncope. He underwent an emergent exam under anesthesia and fecal disimpaction in the operating room. This case emphasizes the importance of doing a thorough physical exam to avoid missing a complication of this rare diagnosis.
