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

Gastroparesis-related hospital visits contribute significantly to healthcare costs. Gastroparesis can lead to chronic symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, early satiety, and abdominal pain. It can result in a significant impairment of quality of life. Diabetes and postsurgery are common causes for gastroparesis, but most cases of gastroparesis are idiopathic in presumed etiology. Malignancy-related gastroparesis has also recently been described in the literature, and pancreatic cancer is a malignancy commonly associated with gastroparesis. Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer is often complicated by gastroparesis during its postoperative course. We report a case where gastric electrical stimulation was an effective treatment option in the treatment of refractory malignancy-related gastroparesis.
