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
Infectious colitis comprises histologically a spectrum from normal mucosa to severe inflammation with ulceration. In many cases, a diagnosis is made microbiologically or virologically. Nevertheless, histology still plays an important role, given its potential time and cost-advantages as well as its possibility to provide a statement on differential diagnoses, leading to different therapeutic treatment strategies (anti-infective drugs, surgery, immunosuppressive agents). The pathologists' role is especially important in three scenarios: 1) The infectious agent is directly visible by light microscopy. 2) The infection shows a specific or diagnostic morphological feature. 3) The infection shows a nonspecific histological inflammation pattern and must be distinguished from important differential diagnoses, most notably chronic inflammatory bowel diseases. In this article, examples from all three diagnostic groups, their diagnostic criteria and, differential diagnosis are discussed.
