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

BACKGROUND Although lipomas are common benign tumors of adipose tissue, diffuse lipomas involving the small bowel, large bowel, and mesentery are rare. Multiple non-encapsulated lipomas characterize diffuse intestinal and mesenteric lipomatosis. Intestinal lipomatosis can be asymptomatic or may result in complications such as intussusception, volvulus, intestinal obstruction, or hemorrhage due to mucosal ulceration. A rare case is presented of intestinal infarction due to diffuse segmental jejunoileal and mesenteric lipomatosis in a 39-year-old woman. CASE REPORT A 39-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with a 12-hour history of diffuse abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and absent bowel movements. She had a known history of intestinal lipomatosis, diagnosed two years previously on abdominal computed tomography (CT) imaging. At surgery, segmental jejunoileal and mesenteric lipomatosis was identified associated with acute intestinal infarction. She underwent ileal resection with side-to-side enterocolic anastomosis. CONCLUSIONS Diffuse intestinal and mesenteric lipomatosis is a rare condition that can be associated with complications. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case to present with acute small bowel infarction.
