Pneumatosis intestinalis after systemic chemotherapy for colorectal cancer: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 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
backgroundPneumatosis intestinalis (PI), also known as intramural gas in the small intestine, is a rare condition encountered by patients with cancer after receiving chemotherapy. CASE SUMMARY: A 78-year-old man with a history of colorectal cancer developed epigastric pain and diarrhea after receiving combination chemotherapy of fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, and cetuximab. Abdomen radiography revealed intramural air in the small intestinal wall. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed the features of PI with air expanding into the mesentery. After surgery, the patient remained symptom-free throughout a 9 mo follow-up period during which he received chemotherapy of fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan.
conclusionAlthough chemotherapy-induced PI is rare among patients with cancer, the differential diagnosis of PI and fulminant complications (such as ischemia, infarction, and perforation of the gastrointestinal tract) should be conducted, in which case an urgent surgical intervention is required.
