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 and importanceHigh-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the foundation of cardiac arrest resuscitation. Pneumoperitoneum due to gastric perforation is a rare surgical complication of CPR that, if left untreated, can result in significant morbidity and mortality. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a 51-year-old male patient with sealed perforation who received an urgent but non-diagnostic exploratory laparotomy after initial esophageal intubation and resuscitation in cardiac arrest, despite significant evidence of surgical pneumoperitoneum. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: It is unusual to experience spontaneous pneumoperitoneum after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We should promote cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for both medical and non-medical personnel.

conclusionEarly endotracheal intubation, avoidance of esophageal intubation, and quick insertion of an orogastric tube may reduce the risk of gastric perforation.
