Conservative Management of Emphysematous Gastritis With Gastric Mucosal Ischaemia: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 condition historically associated with high mortality. It is characterised by gastric mural pneumatosis and portal venous gas, secondary to bacterial or fungal invasion. Given the rarity of the condition, there is little evidence to guide clinical decisions regarding whether a patient requires surgical resection. We describe the case of a 72-year-old male diagnosed with emphysematous gastritis, with endoscopic evidence of gastric fundus mucosal ischaemia. As there was no evidence of ischaemia extending to the serosa on exploratory laparotomy, gastrectomy was not performed, and the patient was managed conservatively. He subsequently made a full recovery, and was discharged without any further complications. This case demonstrates that in the absence of full-thickness gastric ischaemia, patients with emphysematous gastritis may be appropriate for conservative management without surgical resection.
