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

Intestinal cystic pneumatosis is a pathological entity of strange presentation, characterized by the presence of extraluminal gas located at the level of the submucosa and/or subserosa of the intestinal walls, forming cystic lesions that generally vary from 0.5 to 2.0 cm presenting an incidence around 0.03% in the general population. We present the case of a patient who presented to the emergency department for sudden abdominal pain, diffuse signs of peritoneal irritation, and a history of previous laparotomy for perforated gastric ulcer as the only relevant history. An X-ray was performed showing pneumoperitoneum, with subsequent histopathological diagnosis of cystic intestinal pneumatosis.
