Conservative treatment of hepatic portal venous gas consecutive to a complicated diverticulitis: A case report and literature review.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introduction and presentation of caseEight days after being diagnosed with multiple small strokes a 71year old male patient is readmitted with suspicion of a petit mal seizure also complained of diarrhoea and abdominal pain. The patient was stable, not febrile and neurologically intact with a slight tenderness in the left lower quadrant. An ultrasound revealed presence of air in the hepatic portal venous system and a suspicion for sigmoid diverticulitis. A CT-scan confirmed both diagnoses. We proceeded with a conservative regimen under close observation. The clinical course and laboratory results were unremarkable. DISCUSSION: The review of the literature (PubMed database) triggered 685 items with only one clinical trial establishing a scoring system to detect adult individuals, which need operation.
conclusionA pneumoportogram (hepatic portal venous gas, HPVG) is a very rare and usually associated with bowel ischemia and from poor prognosis. The last decades saw the emergence of numerous other aetiologies (also benign) with a shift of paradigm from systematic emergency laparotomies to individual patient selection.
