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

This case has interesting images of huge hydro pneumoperitoneum. It is a rare view in the medical practice and a good point to learn one of the complications of perforated duodenal ulcer and failure of omental patch operation. We reported a case of acute abdominal pain with hydro pneumoperitoneum that appeared as an air fluid line in X-ray. The patient had an omental patch surgery. Two days after the operation he got severe abdominal pain. The X-ray images showed significant huge hydro pneumoperitoneum. He underwent urgent surgical intervention for exploration that detected a large amount of gases, a biliary free fluid and a leak from duodenal ulcer. Omental buttressing was then performed.
