Review in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Nearly 3 million patients are hospitalized every year for emergent gastrointestinal (GI) surgical problems and nearly one third of those will require surgery. This article reviews the scope of GI surgical emergencies within the context of emergency general surgery (EGS), costs of care, overview of several common GI surgical problems, and traditional and emerging treatment modalities. This article also argues for ongoing work in the area of risk assessment for EGS, and describes quality metrics as well as outcomes of care for these patients.
