A rare case of tension pneumoperitoneum secondary to gastric perforation associated with severe aortic compression.

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 36-year-old male was critically unwell with acute central abdominal pain and distension. CT demonstrated severe pneumoperitoneum leading to compression and total occlusion of the inferior vena cava and occlusion of the aorta. At laparotomy, a perforated posterior gastric ulcer was found with four quadrant contamination. A damage control procedure was performed and a re-look laparotomy was carried out 2 days later where bowel ischaemia was found. Despite being supported on the intensive care unit, unfortunately the patient died. Tension pneumoperitoneum leading to occlusion of the aorta is very rare and the severity of this condition should be recognised; it has never been survived in the reported literature. Rapid assessment and investigation is essential to ensure the timely treatment of this disease.
