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

Portal hypertensive polyposis is a rare finding represented in about 2.5% of all patients with portal hypertension. The diagnostic criteria are not yet clearly defined. It has been mentioned in a few case reports; its distribution was mainly duodenal and less frequently gastric. Here, a patient with type 2 diabetes and liver cirrhosis was hospitalized for vomiting, abdominal pain, and melena. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit for stabilization and urgent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). EGD revealed a single antral polyp occluding the pyloric ring which was the cause of gastric outlet obstruction. Complete debulking by argon plasma was done which improved gastric outlet obstruction and melena. We conclude that argon plasma coagulation is a safe, rapid, and effective method for treating portal hypertensive polyposis.
