Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction in a Young Male With Alcohol Abuse Disorder.

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
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare syndrome associated with significant mortality and morbidity. It mimics the signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction in the absence of an anatomic lesion causing obstruction. Here we present a case of a young male with severe alcohol abuse disorder who initially presented with signs and symptoms of alcohol withdrawal but was found to have abdominal distension. Imaging studies revealed severe small and large bowel dilatation without any organic lesion. He continued to have marked intestinal dilatation for the subsequent few months. Alcohol cessation eventually led to a marked reduction in his symptoms and a decrease in intestinal dilatation. The occurrence of CIPO because of alcohol abuse is rare, and we explore the possible association between the two entities.
