1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionEmergency surgery for Crohn's disease (CD) is a rare entity, and its indications are scant in the published literature. Emergency laparoscopy for small bowel obstruction has gained wide dissemination with the spread of advanced laparoscopic skills within surgical practice. Therefore, incidental terminal ileitis after exploration might be a more-common finding in the near future, and further studies are needed to better ascertain proper surgical treatment. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report on a case of acute obstruction caused by undiagnosed terminal ileitis associated with CD. DISCUSSION AND

conclusionThe patient underwent explorative laparoscopy and subsequent video-assisted ileocecal resection with an optimal outcome.
