Postoperative abdominal free air: How much and when is enough? Report of two cases.
Article in SAGE open medical 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
Postoperative intraperitoneal or ectopic free air may occur after abdominal surgery, gynecologic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, or endoscopic procedures and, in rare cases, represent gastrointestinal perforation, requiring emergency laparotomy. Evaluating patients with postoperative signs of bowel perforation may be difficult, especially when day-case laparoscopic or endoscopic surgery is performed, with the patient readily discharged from hospital. Delayed diagnosis of gastrointestinal perforation due to underestimation of postoperative free air is associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate. We report two cases of patients presenting with postoperative free air along with the clinical presentation and management.
