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

backgroundIntestinal failure (IF) in the adult is the result of a wide spectrum of disease. Acute mesenteric ischemia, postoperative short bowel due to a complicative course, and Crohn's disease are major causes of IF. Reconstructive surgery in the context of IF comprises a spectrum of procedures including stoma takedown, reversal of laparostomies, and closure of enteric fistulas.

methodsThis article is based on a PubMed-based literature search and personal experience in adult patients with IF.

resultsThis review summarizes therapeutic options of reconstructive surgery in adult patients focusing on the main reasons of IF such as mesenteric ischemia, complicative previous surgery, and Crohn's disease. Indications and contraindications are discussed as well as the optimal time point of reconstructive surgery.

conclusionThis overview summarizes surgical aspects in a special cohort of patients with a rare disease entity necessitating an interdisciplinary approach.
