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

A 61-year-old woman was seen by the emergency general surgical team with a 2-week history of right iliac fossa pain. Imaging revealed the possibility of a distal ileum perforating foreign body. Using a single incision laparoscopy surgery (SILS) approach, this diagnosis was confirmed at operation. This emerging technique meant a much smaller incision could be used than traditional exploratory laparotomy, with the benefit of less postoperative pain and a faster recovery. This case highlights an uncommon cause for abdominal pain and the importance of close liaison with radiologists and the low threshold for use of laparoscopy as a diagnostic tool. We advocate the use of SILS in the emergency setting for appropriate cases.
