Perforated Toxic Megacolon: The Dreaded Complication in Ulcerative Colitis.
Article in Journal of Brown hospital medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Toxic megacolon is a severe complication of ulcerative colitis characterized by extreme dilation of the colon, often leading to life-threatening outcomes. It typically presents with symptoms such as abdominal distension, severe pain, fever, and signs of systemic toxicity. We present a case of perforated toxic megacolon in a middle-aged woman with a new diagnosis of ulcerative colitis that was refractory to corticosteroids and biologic therapy. Early recognition and treatment are crucial to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with this potentially fatal condition.
