Travel-related gastrointestinal diseases: Assessment and management.
Review in Public health challenges, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Introduction: Gastrointestinal illnesses are among the most common health problems affecting travellers returning from international travel. Its public health implications include economic healthcare costs and the risk of promoting antimicrobial resistance. This narrative review aims to critically appraise the literature concerning gastrointestinal diseases in travellers and outlines a practical approach to aid clinicians in their assessment and management. Methods: The Medline (PubMed) and SCOPUS databases were searched for articles relating to gastrointestinal issues in returning travellers. Articles were primarily restricted to those published in the last 5 years. Only studies on human subjects were included. Results: Diarrhoea is the most common gastrointestinal symptom experienced by approximately 40%-60% of travellers, but abdominal pain, bloating and fatigue are also common. Diarrhoeagenic Conclusion: Clinicians across a range of medical specialities should be familiar with the presentation, aetiology and management of gastrointestinal illness in the returning traveller. Efforts to improve destination sanitation and hygiene infrastructure may serve to reduce the burden of preventable illness in this setting.
