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

Internal hernia after gastrectomy is a rare complication. It can progress rapidly to vascular disturbance, necrosis, and perforation, therefore early diagnosis and surgical treatment is essential. We present a case of internal hernia following laparoscopic-assisted proximal gastrectomy with jejunal interposition reconstruction in a 68-year-old man, who presented with acute abdominal pain and vomiting. Computed tomography showed a whirl sign, ascites, and a closed-loop formation of the small intestine. We diagnosed an internal hernia and performed emergency surgery. Laparotomy revealed chyle-like ascites and extensive small intestine with poor color. We recognized that about 20 cm of jejunum from the ligament of Treitz was strangulated behind the pedicle of the jejunum lifted during laparoscopic-assisted proximal gastrectomy. We relieved the strangulation, whereupon the color of the strangulated intestine was restored. Therefore, we did not perform intestinal resection and reconstruction. Finally, we fixed the jejunal pedicle and mesentery of the transverse colon. We report this case as there are few reported cases of internal hernia after laparoscopic-assisted proximal gastrectomy.
