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

Acute gastric necrosis is a rare condition with unknown pathogenesis. Existing literature describes acute esophageal necrosis as a result of excessive alcohol use; however, it is more difficult to find literature on alcohol-induced gastric necrosis. This condition may present with epigastric tenderness, vomiting or diarrhea with findings of pneumoperitoneum, gastric pneumatosis and portal venous gas on computed tomography. These patients can have complications such as septic shock, peritonitis and death. In this case report, we discuss a patient with a history of alcohol abuse who presented with acute gastric necrosis. On endoscopy, this patient was found to have a black necrotic gastric fundus and unusual erythematous changes to the mucosa. Prior research has identified other findings of patchy or diffuse circumferential black pigmentation of esophageal mucosa in patients with alcohol-induced esophageal necrosis, otherwise known as black esophagus. This case report aims to describe this novel presentation of alcohol-induced gastric necrosis.
