Atypical Small Bowel Obstruction Caused by Perforated Cecum: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Acute onset of abdominal pain with emesis and lack of stool or flatus is an alarming presentation for possible small bowel obstruction (SBO). SBO should be high on the differential diagnosis due to concomitant signs and symptoms that are highly sensitive in diagnosing SBO. These include diffuse tenderness on palpation of the abdomen, abdominal distention, hypotension, vomiting, and lack of flatus or stool. In this report, we present a 67-year-old African American male, who presented to the emergency department with the above-mentioned signs and symptoms and decreased oral intake for four days, ultimately undergoing surgical exploration to relieve the SBO caused by an idiopathic cecal perforation. This case report calls attention to the decision-making, standard protocol, and surgical intervention of a patient with SBO.
