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

Small bowel obstruction is a common cause of abdominal pain and accounts for approximately 20% of surgical admissions related to abdominal pain. In the United States alone, there are over 300,000 admissions annually for small bowel obstruction and account for every 15 out of 100 admissions for abdominal pain. If treated appropriately with medical management, over 80% of cases resolve without life-threatening, long-term complications or the need for surgical intervention. The three most common causes including adhesions, tumors, and hernias account for the majority of cases. Less frequently reported causes include infections. We present the case of a 26-year-old male with a history of AIDS who was found to have a small bowel obstruction in the setting of active
