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

Pneumatosis intestinalis is described as gas within the bowel wall and can be a sign of bowel ischaemia with a pending perforation. The described patient presented with the incidental diagnosis of pneumatosis intestinalis with free intraperitoneal gas on CT scan. His medical history included a successful lung transplantation. We here describe the clinical decision-making and evaluate our case with previous cases in the literature.
