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

Blunt abdominal trauma can affect mesenteric circulation which may lead to bowel strictures. Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography can be used to assess mesenteric blood flow and bowel perfusion as a guide to resect length intraoperatively. But this concept has not been applied to ischaemic bowel strictures. We present a case of ischaemic ileal stricture induced by blunt abdominal trauma which was managed by resection and anastomosis. Intraoperative near-infrared (NIR) ICG angiography was used as a guide to resect the bowel length. This case emphasises that ischaemic bowel strictures should be suspected in patients presenting with intestinal obstruction following trauma. Resection and anastomosis of the affected segment remains the primary treatment modality with excellent outcomes. NIR ICG angiography is a real-time objective and useful resource for assessing bowel perfusion and could be used to determine the length of the segment to be resected in patients with ischaemic bowel stricture.
