Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis with pneumoperitoneum in an 87-years-old male patient: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a rare condition, characterized by gas-filled cysts in the intestinal wall. The mesentery and intra-abdominal ligaments can be affected. PCI is classified as primary or secondary and associated with multiple predisposing factors. An asymptomatic 87-year-old man underwent an abdominal tomography for follow-up of bladder carcinoma. The examination revealed intestinal and mesenteric pneumatosis associated with pneumoperitoneum. At laparoscopy, intestinal and mesenteric pneumatosis without intestinal infarction was identified. He was discharged on the fifth postoperative day. PCI is a benign condition that can be confused with mesenteric ischemia. Treatment is conservative, with periodic clinical evaluations. Surgical procedure is unnecessary for its diagnosis or management.
