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

Intramural duodenal hematoma has been reported as a rare condition first described by McLauchlan in 1838. It is now thought to be an uncommon condition due to the increase in the number of reported cases in the medical literature. It has been reported to usually occur secondary to blunt trauma mainly in young men and children, with 82% of the patients being younger than 30 years. Association between spontaneous intramural duodenal hematoma and coagulopathy, coagulating drugs, endoscopic procedures, acute pancreatitis, and pancreatic malignancy has been made. We present the case of a 35-year-old African male lumberjack with no known previous history of trauma, risk factors, or associated predisposing condition that presented to our facility with acute abdominal pain and vomiting and diagnosed as spontaneous intramural duodenal haematoma on CT scan and MR imaging with a complete resolution on conservative management.
