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
A 50-year-old woman was admitted to our emergency surgery department with 1-week history of abdominal pain, distension, vomiting and constipation. On examination, she has a distended abdomen with sluggish bowel sounds, but no clinical signs of peritonitis. Blood tests were normal except for the increased white cell count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). CT scan with oral as well as intravenous contrast demonstrated the small bowel obstruction without any insight into the aetiology of the disease. Intraoperatively, the right fallopian tube was found to encircle the terminal ileum. A right salpingo-oophorectomy was performed to release the bowel. This case report describes a rare cause of the small bowel obstruction in female patients.
