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: Infection with COVID-19 may lead to extrapulmonary pathologies secondary to the systemic inflammatory effects of the virus. Case Description: This case report discusses a 55-year-old female patient who presented with small bowel obstruction (SBO) several months after resolution of a COVID-19 infection. The patient was surgically treated with a small bowel resection, and eventually made a full recovery. Discussion: The pathophysiology of COVID-19-induced SBO can be explained by the prolonged inflammation and coagulation activation in the bowel's vasculature system. Under these circumstances, microthrombosis occurs in the bowel's microvasculature; the affected intestinal tissue becomes ischemic and infarcted. The damaged bowel is eventually replaced with fibrotic scar tissue, thus promoting bowel stricture and subsequent obstruction. Conclusion: COVID-19 can be responsible for both acute and chronic embolic and thrombotic events in the mesenteric vasculature, which acts as a risk factor in the manifestation of SBO.
