A rare occurrence of hepatic portal venous gas in a patient with chemotherapy-induced enterocolitis: the rise of benign aetiologies.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) is often viewed as an ominous imaging finding with a poor prognosis and a high mortality rate. We recently encountered a case of HPVG in a patient with advanced metastatic prostate cancer previously treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. A laparotomy was performed, which was negative. Although HPVG secondary to chemotherapy is extremely rare, we as clinicians need to consider this aetiology and other benign aetiologies. With the increased rate of benign aetiologies and their successful conservative management, the role of emergency laparotomies needs to be re-considered.
