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

Blunt abdominal trauma is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction thought to arise from either a sealed perforation of the small bowel or mesenteric injury resulting in adhesions. A 55-year-old gentleman presented with symptoms and signs of small bowel obstruction and a history of blunt abdominal trauma 14 months previously. Abdominal computed tomography showed a transition zone at the terminal ilium with proximal dilatation indicative of obstruction. At surgery, he had adhesions involving the terminal ilium with shortening and fibrosis of the supplying mesentery. Patients with a history of blunt abdominal trauma presenting with abdominal symptoms must be investigated to rule out bowel obstruction, with a low threshold for surgical intervention.
