Factors associated with hospitalization or surgery for abdominal pain: a retrospective study.
Article in Internal and emergency medicine, 2026. 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
Acute abdominal pain (AAP) causes 6-11% of emergency department (ED) visits. Distinguishing severe from benign AAP remains challenging. We aimed at identifying factors associated with hospitalization or emergency surgery. We performed a single-center retrospective observational study, including all the patients who presented in the ED with AAP during one whole year. Through direct access to medical records, 86 factors were studied. Patients who were hospitalized or who underwent emergency surgery were compared to patients who were discharged. We analyzed 2201 patients with AAP: 432 patients in the hospitalized group, and 1769 patients in the ambulatory group. Five factors associated with hospitalization or emergency surgery were identified through multivariable analysis: pain location in the right iliac fossa region (OR 2.8, 1.9-4.2; p < 10
