Randomized controlled trial of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in adhesive postoperative small bowel obstruction.
Trial report in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundHyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is a controversial treatment for adhesive postoperative small bowel obstruction (ASBO), with only a few retrospective studies reported. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical impact of HBO therapy in the treatment of ASBO.
methodsPatients with ASBO were randomly assigned to no-HBO (standard arm) or HBO (intervention arm). Patients of the intervention arm were treated once daily at a pressure of 2.0 atm absolute and received 100% oxygen. The primary endpoint was the success rate of medical treatment. This study was registered at the UMIN Clinical Trial Registry as UMIN000010399.
resultsThe no-HBO group included 40 patients, and the HBO group included 33 patients. Patient characteristics, time to oral intake, and length of hospital stay were similar between the two groups. No significant differences were noted between the no-HBO and HBO groups in the need for long intestinal tube decompression (20.0 versus 18.2%, respectively, p = 1.000) and the need for operative intervention (10.0 versus 18.2%, respectively, p = 0.332). The overall success rate of medical treatment was 72.5% in the no-HBO group and 78.8% in the HBO group (p = 0.594).
conclusionsIn this randomized controlled trial, HBO for ASBO has no additional effect in medical treatment.
