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

Bouveret Syndrome (BS) is a rare type of gallstone ileus, where a gallstone passes via a cholecystoduodenal fistula and causes gastric outlet obstruction. It comprises 0.3-0.5% of cholelithiasis complications. It primarily affects females with an average incidence age of 74 years. Gastric Neuroendocrine Tumors (G-NETs) make up merely 2% of all forms of gastric neoplasia and are known to be an extremely rare occurrence. Their annual incidence is estimated to be one to two per 1 million individuals, and they comprise 8.7% of all known neuroendocrine neoplasia of the gastrointestinal system. Case presentation: We present the case of a 44-year-old Middle Eastern female who presented to the clinic due to multiple episodes of food containing biliary nonprojectile emesis accompanied by epigastric pain. Preoperative radiological workup revealed a Bezoar blocking the gastric outlet and a G-NET in the mucosal layer of the stomach. Clinical discussion: Surgical intervention consisted of excising the impacted calculus to relieve the existing gastric outlet obstruction simultaneous to performing an uncut Roux-en-Y to treat the G-NET condition. The patient underwent complete recovery. Conclusion: BS is an extremely rare form of gallstone ileus and gastric outlet obstruction. Its clinical presentation is nonspecific and results in misdiagnosis. Additionally, it is rare to occur in our patient's age group. NETs are also profoundly rare forms of neoplasia. To the best of our knowledge, no previous cases of simultaneous BS and G-NET have been documented. Therefore, clinical awareness should be raised to timely implement the necessary therapeutic interventions.
