Emergency surgery for intestinal obstruction revealing ileal Crohn's disease (CD) during pregnancy.

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
Few data are available regarding emergency surgery for Crohn's disease (CD) during pregnancy. A 22-year -old woman, at 26 weeks of pregnancy, was admitted for premature labour, intestinal obstruction and systemic inflammation. Biology and ultrasonography were not helpful; imaging was completed with a CT scan, which confirmed the mechanical ileal obstruction. The intestinal obstruction worsened and led to emergency surgery. An inflammatory stenosis of the terminal ileum with two fistulas was found. An ileal resection and ileostomy were performed. The pathological analysis of the resected specimen confirmed CD. The postoperative course was uneventful. The delivery of a baby with normal weight and status occurred at term (40 weeks of amenorrhoea). There have been only 10 case reports of intestinal complications revealing CD during pregnancy. The delay in diagnosis and adequate treatment led to significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. This case suggests that intestinal surgery for CD is feasible during pregnancy and may be associated with a favourable outcome for the baby as well as for the mother.
