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

Chronic massive gastric distention is a rare condition that can occur due to an underlying obstruction or dysmotility. Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is often the culprit that can manifest as the result of the luminal, mural, or extrinsic compression. Gastric adenocarcinoma can rarely manifest as massive gastric distention due to partially obstructing mass or peptic stricture. Severe and fatal sequelae may develop, if early detection and appropriate intervention are delayed, such as gastric decompression, endoscopic evaluation and/or surgical resection. Herein, we present a case of a 60-year-old male who presented with progressive worsening of nonspecific symptoms over the 8-month period. He was found to have remarkable massive gastric distention on imaging which was chronic in etiology secondary to GOO due to metastatic signet-ring cell gastric adenocarcinoma.
