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

introduction and importanceBouveret syndrome is a rare type of gallstone ileus causing gastric outlet obstruction with high morbidity and mortality risk, and hence important to have a high degree of clinical suspicion on presentation for prompt diagnosis and management. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of an elderly woman with abdominal pain, haematemesis, and an unremarkable radiograph whose initial emergent endoscopy showed a gastric obstruction and a duodenal diverticulum with a non-bleeding broad based duodenal ulcer. Subsequent computerised tomographic (CT) scan revealed a cholecystoduodenal fistula and gastric outlet obstruction secondary to a 5 cm stone in the duodenojejunal (DJ) flexure. A repeat endoscopy was attempted for endoscopic removal prior to proceeding to open enterolithotomy. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: This case highlights the challenges in diagnosis and discusses the latest literature on multimodal management consisting of endoscopy and surgery.

conclusionThe location of the obstructing stone at the duodenojejunal flexure is extremely rare and therefore will add to world literature on Bouveret syndrome.
