[Videocapsule Endoscopy as a Diagnostic Tool for Meckel's Diverticulum in Pediatrics: a Case Report].
Article in Acta gastroenterologica Latinoamericana. 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
Meckel's diverticulum is a common congenital anomaly of the small intestine caused by incomplete obliteration of the omphalomesenteric duct. Most patients are asymptomatic, and the diagnosis is usually made incidentally on imaging studies. The most common symptom is painless rectal bleeding; however, the presentation can be varied. There are different diagnostic tools for symptomatic, among which the most sensitive is Meckel's scan. However, direct visualization is the way to make an accurate diagnosis, which can be done through video capsule endoscopy, a useful tool to clarify the etiology of bleeding in the small intestine.
