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

The present report describes the case of an 81-year-old woman who underwent an emergency explorative laparotomy due to small bowel perforation. Diffuse feculent peritonitis due to perforation of the jejunum was identified. In addition, six distinct tumors of the jejunum in close proximity to the perforation site, as well as two more lesions caudally at the ileum, were identified. A separate stenotic tumor was identified at the sigmoid colon, causing moderate dilatation of the whole intestine. An enterectomy, including the perforation site and the proximal six tumors, was performed, followed by limited enterectomies for the distal two tumors and side-to-side anastomoses of the small intestine. All resected tumors were identified at histology as metastatic from lung carcinoma. Postoperatively, the patient remained in a severe septic condition and succumbed the following day. Metastatic lesions from lung carcinoma in the small bowel wall are a rare finding predisposing to bowel perforation. When an acute condition coexists with multiple intestinal metastases, the mortality rate is high despite prompt surgical intervention.
