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

Introduction: Chilaiditi's sign is a rare radiological sign characterized by interposition of the colon between diaphragm and liver. It is called Chilaiditi's syndrome if the patient presents with associated symptoms. Its diagnosis is incidental and can be confused with other acute conditions. Case presentation: This is a case of 85-year-old gentleman who presented with complaints of epigastric pain and vomiting. The patient had a history of long-term antidepressant medications. X-ray of chest and abdomen revealed presence of bowel loops under the diaphragm. CT scan helped confirm the diagnosis of Chilaiditi's sign. Discussion: Chilaiditi's sign has a low prevalence on chest and abdominal X-rays. Common associated symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and constipation. It can be misdiagnosed as bowel perforation and can lead to unnecessary surgical interventions. Symptomatic patients are managed conservatively. Conclusion: Chilaiditi's syndrome is a rare radiological entity and should be diagnosed carefully to avoid unwanted surgical procedures.
