Pneumatosis intestinalis: Not always bowel ischemia.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Pneumatosis intestinalis or abnormal intramural gas within the digestive tract usually suggests bowel ischemia necessitating urgent surgery. We report the case of an 82-year-old female presenting with hypotension and nausea, with a past history of schizophrenia, low grade chronic lymphocytic leukemia, stroke, bronchitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Computed tomography performed demonstrated extensive submucosal gas within the entire small bowel, associated with free gas in the peritoneal cavity. Bowel ischemia was diagnosed radiologically. However, a benign diagnosis of fecal impaction was ultimately made due to the patient's stable clinical status. Clinical correlation and close monitoring of clinical status in this context is of greatest diagnostic assistance when encountered with this phenomenon, to prevent unnecessary harm to the patient.
