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

rationaleHepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) is a very rare radiological finding that occurs when gas enters the portal venous system. HGVG can be caused by various diseases, with the most common being intestinal ischemia or necrosis. While there are few reports of HPVG associated with colon cancer, we report a case of HPVG associated with advanced colon cancer. DIAGNOSIS: The diagnosis of this patient was HPVG caused by colon cancer.

interventionsLeft colon cancer resection, pancreatic tail resection, splenectomy, and transverse colostomy were performed. OUTCOMES: The patient recovered well, and postoperative paraffin pathology confirmed that the resected tumor was colon cancer. LESSONS: Abdominal computed tomography is an effective method for diagnosing and monitoring HPVG. Klebsiella pneumonia is a potential gas-producing microorganism associated with HPVG, which may be confirmed by Blood culture or drainage culture. The prognosis of HPVG is closely related to the underlying pathology. Surgery should be performed early when there are signs of intestinal ischemia, necrosis, or perforation.
