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

Lymphangiomatosis is a benign proliferation of lymph vessels. Lymphatic diseases can vary from small lymphangioma to generalized lymphangiomatosis, which is a rare condition and can have several clinical manifestations. The gastrointestinal tract may be affected, but the incidence in the intestinal wall is very low. We propose in our study a case of ileal lymphangiomatosis presenting with perforation, in which the diagnosis was made after the pathological analysis of the resected intestinal tract. Although rare and not described in the literature, intestinal lymphangiomatosis could manifest itself with acute abdomen and could be a surgical urgency. This disease should be considered when intestinal perforation is observed.
