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

introductionGastric outlet obstruction is characterized by the retention of gastric contents. Removal of gastric contents is an important part of the treatment strategy. The use of a nasogastric tube alone can result in inadequate removal of gastric contents. We treated a patient with advanced gastric cancer and gastric outlet obstruction with pancrelipase to aid in the removal of gastric contents. PRESENTATION OF CASE: The patient is an 81-year-old man with a Type 3 gastric cancer nearly circumferentially involving the antrum, resulting in gastric outlet obstruction. A nasogastric tube was placed for four days, but drainage of gastric contents was inadequate. Pancrelipase was then given orally for four days, and gastric contents were evacuated. The patient underwent distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction and was discharged from the hospital on postoperative day 14. DISCUSSION: This report suggests that pancrelipase may be beneficial in the treatment of patients with gastric outlet obstruction.

conclusionPancrelipase allowed gastric contents to be evacuated in a short period of time in a patient with gastric outlet obstruction.
