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 abdomen during pregnancy is rare. Despite advances in diagnostic imaging, preoperative diagnosis in the pregnant population due to anatomical and physiological changes can pose difficulties. Diagnosis and surgery delays increase the risk of adverse outcomes for both maternal and fetal health. In symptomatic cases, explorative surgery might be essential for correct diagnosis and patient treatment. Here, we present Meckel's diverticulum as an unusual cause of small bowel obstruction complicated with gangrene in a 34-week pregnant patient. The diagnosis was only apparent during explorative surgical laparotomy.
