Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis: case report and review of literature.
Review in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers.
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.
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 is the presence of gas in the bowel wall and is divided into two categories: life-threatening pneumatosis intestinalis and benign pneumatosis intestinalis. Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is a rare condition characterized by gas-filled cysts in submucosa and subserosa. The pathogenesis is unclear, although some causes have been theorized. The presenting clinical findings may be very heterogeneous. Intestinal pneumatosis may lead to various complications. Distinguishing between pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis and life-threatening pneumatosis intestinalis may be challenging, although computed tomography scan allows the detection of additional findings that may suggest an underlying, potentially worrisome cause of pneumatosis intestinalis. To correctly manage the patients affected with this disease is important to differentiate the two types of pneumatosis. The patients with pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis are usually treated conservatively; the surgical treatment is reserved for complications. We described a case of a patient with pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis and gastric perforation. The medical history of the patient revealed a breast cancer treated with mastectomy and chemotherapy; the patient did not report a history of gastrointestinal disease. The abdomen CT showed abscess formation at the level of the antro-pylorus, linear pneumatosis in the gastric wall, and free abdominal air. Multiple small air bubbles was observed in intestinal wall. The intestinal wall was not thickened with normal contrast mucosal enhancement. CT examination showed neither mesenteric stranding nor portal venous gas embolism. The findings of the surgery were gastric perforated peptic ulcer and benign pneumatosis intestinalis.
