A Case-Based Overview of the Role of Radiological Imaging in Emergency General Surgery.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This article aims to give an overview of some of the common conditions seen in emergency general surgery and the recommended choice of imaging. For junior doctors, choosing the correct imaging modality can be difficult so we aim to provide a summary of the evidence behind radiology for emergency general surgery. Four of the most important acute surgical conditions were chosen, alongside abdominal aortic aneurysm. A literature search was carried out to review the most up-to-date evidence regarding imaging choices. Cases were chosen from everyday practice to put the imaging into context. This article gives an overview of the most common imaging modalities used in emergency general surgery. It can be used by medical students and junior doctors to help understand the reasoning behind imaging choices on the acute surgical take.
