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

We present a case of 47-year-old healthy man who underwent an uneventful elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Despite the postoperative analgesia with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), the patient developed diffuse abdominal pain culminating on the second postoperative day when the patient also had rebound tenderness. A diagnostic laparoscopy showed diverticular perforation, which was treated with laparoscopic lavage and drain. The patient's condition continued to deteriorate and the drain output resembled faecal material necessitating an emergency sigmoidium resection. The histopathological examination confirmed inflammation and perforation in the diverticulosis-bearing segment. The use of NSAID can be a reason for perforation, and may be for diverticulitis. NSAID should be used with caution in patients with a previous history or endoscopic-verified diverticulosis.
