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

Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a rare complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD) that is usually seen in patients with encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. We present a case of SBO that was caused by mechanical obstruction from omental adhesions around the PD catheter. This is the case of 71-year-old female with end-stage renal disease who was recently started on PD and presented with recurrent syncopal episodes and altered mental status. During hospitalization, the patient began experiencing incomplete drainage of the PD solution. Abdominal computerized tomography revealed SBO with a transition point near the PD catheter. The patient then underwent laparoscopy, which revealed omental adhesions around the PD catheter near the obstruction area, but no adhesion of the intestine was observed. The adhesions were dissected by laparoscopy, and the PD catheter was removed. This case highlights the challenges of PD access.
