Splenectomy post-splenic injury following dilatation of Roux-en-y enterostomy stomal stricture: an unexpected complication.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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 53-year-old woman presented in the early hours of the morning with generalised abdominal pain and features of hypovolaemic shock, following a dilatation of an enterostomy stricture 12 hours prior. Dilatation of this stricture was indicated by ongoing dysphagia, which had been successfully dilated twice before without incident. Standard resuscitative measures and confirmation of the endoscopically-caused splenic injury by CT scan were followed promptly by a splenectomy to control ongoing blood loss. The strictured enterostomy was revised to mitigate further need for endoscopic dilatation. The patient recovered well and was discharged shortly after on a soft diet.
