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

Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare, potentially debilitating gastrointestinal (GI) condition characterized by symptoms of intestinal obstruction with the absence of anatomic lesions. In this report, we present a case of an 86-year-old female who presented with severe abdominal discomfort, nausea, and vomiting for two weeks prior to presentation. Imaging studies revealed severe gastric distension with a lack of anatomic lesions. The patient was ultimately diagnosed with chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIIP). The purpose of this case report is to raise awareness of this condition in the medical literature and discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic workup, and treatment options of this disorder.
