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

introductionHepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) is a rare radiological finding in which gas enters the portal venous system and it is associated in case of necrotizing colitis with a mortality of 75%. We report a case of iatrogenic HPVG with a review of literature. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 41 years old patient underwent total colectomy and ileal pouch- anal anastomosis with derivative ileostomy for a familiar adenomatous polyposis coli in June 2008. A stenosis of the pouch-anal anastomosis developed. The patient underwent several endoscopic dilations. A recurrence of the stenosis was observed. The patient underwent to several endoscopic procedure. After the last colonoscopy the patient showed a fever with abdominal pain. A CT scan showed little peri-anastomotic collections and massive hepatic portal venous gas. DISCUSSION: The management of HPVG varied from surgical intervention to non-operative procedure. The surgical approach it's reserved to clinically unstable patients or those with evidence of peritonitis or bowel perforation. Stable patients, like those with an HPVG consequence of an endoscopic procedure, can be treated with non- operative management.

conclusionOur experience confirm that hepatic portal venous gas can be related to endoscopic procedure; thus, it can be managed on the basis of patient's general clinical conditions, and in selected cases it will disappear without therapeutic interventions with a good outcome.
