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

Duodenal obstruction is a rare event that is unlikely to be treated endoscopically. Herein, we describe the case of a 75-year-old woman who presented with vomiting and was diagnosed with food-induced duodenal obstruction. Impacted food was fragmented and removed by double-balloon enteroscopy, and the duodenal tract was reopened without any adverse events. Follow-up capsule endoscopy was performed one month after treatment to determine the obstruction etiology and it revealed a remarkably delayed passage of the capsule through the duodenum and excessive amounts of floating food residue in the third portion of the duodenum. Obstruction recurrence was not observed six months after endoscopic treatment. In conclusion, in our case, endoscopic treatment of duodenal obstruction prevented the unnecessary performance of surgery, suggesting its clinical utility for this condition.
