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

Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is a condition in which cystic collections of gas develop within the gastrointestinal wall, forming submucosal or subserosal "bubbles". The radiologic manifestations are often dramatic and most notably are associated with life-threatening bowel ischaemia. PI may occur as a primary type but is usually secondary in nature, attributable to a wide spectrum of causes (benign and fulminant), ranging from immunosuppression to bowel infarction. Herein, we report a case of massive and extensive PI in a patient with small bowel ischaemia, having both benign and serious clinical origins.
