Conservative Management of Suspected Emphysematous Gastritis.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Emphysematous gastritis is a rare surgical condition. Although there is a lack of a common definition, the key features of its presentation include gastric emphysema on imaging and the presence of gas-forming organisms in the gastric mucosa. In this study, we report the case of an 80-year-old Caucasian male who presented with abdominal pain; a computed tomography scan demonstrated gastric emphysema (intra-mural air within the stomach). After upper gastrointestinal endoscopy excluded gross perforation, ulcer, and malignancy, the patient recovered to baseline with conservative management consisting of gastric rest (nil by mouth and nasogastric tube decompression), intravenous antibiotics, and intravenous proton pump inhibitor. Given the wide pathogenic mechanisms for gastric emphysema, we recommend a conservative but cautious approach if the patient does not demonstrate clinical features of hemodynamic instability, sepsis, and peritonitis.
