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

Ogilvie's syndrome, or acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO), is an occasional disorder that occurs in hospitalized patients who have undergone major surgery. It presents with the clinical features of intestinal obstruction without any definitive intrinsic or extrinsic anatomical cause. Without prompt treatment, it can lead to life-threatening complications. The risk factors of this syndrome must be sought to prevent its occurrence. We report a rare case of idiopathic, spontaneous, and non-traumatic Ogilvie's syndrome, with old age as the only present risk factor in our case. To our best knowledge, this is the first-ever case reported in English scientific literature from Pakistan.
