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

Jejunal diverticula are rare medical conditions with an incidence of 0.3%-2.5%, mostly discovered perioperatively. Our patient, 60 years old female, presented in an emergency with complaints of constipation, vomiting, abdominal pain, and distension. On examination, her abdomen was markedly distended with generalized tenderness. An erect abdominal X-ray revealed multiple air-fluid levels, which suggests small bowel obstruction. A diagnosis of jejunal diverticula was made on exploratory laparotomy. No evidence of granuloma or malignancy was seen on histopathological examination. Segmental resection of the affected jejunum was carried out, followed by end-to-end primary anastomosis. The patient was discharged on postoperative Day 6 with complete recovery at 2 weeks follow-up visit.
