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

rationaleSpontaneous gastric perforation in young children is rare, and gastric perforation caused by Candida albicans infection is even rarer. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 4-month-old infant presented with frequent retching. The results of X-rays showed obvious pneumoperitoneum but gastric vacuole was not seen. DIAGNOSIS: The infant was diagnosed as spontaneous gastric perforation caused by C albicans infection based on blood culture, peritoneal fluid culture, and postoperative histopathology.

interventionsAn emergency exploratory laparotomy was performed and a gastric perforation repair was done. The infant received antishock, antiinfection, and intravenous nutrition treatment. OUTCOMES: After operation and antiinfective symptomatic treatment, the infant recovered. LESSONS: This case emphasized the rare C albicans infection as a cause of the gastric perforation in infant. The C albicans infection should always be thought of as an etiology for the gastric perforation in infant, to reduce the significant mortality. The early detection is necessary to treat Candida infections.
