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

Peptic ulceration with fistula formation into the inferior vena cava is rare, difficult to diagnose, and associated with high mortality. The nonspecific signs and symptoms make diagnosis challenging, delaying optimal treatment. Although there have been reports on duodeno-caval fistulas, gastric communication with the inferior vena cava is very rare. We report the second case of a fatal gastro-caval fistula and performed a review of the literature on entero-caval fistulas to emphasize the importance of early suspicion and to understand the most common presentation, as well as the best diagnostic and treatment modalities of this rare pathology.
