Acute Gastric Dilatation With Ischemia and Perforation Requiring Emergency Total Gastrectomy: A Case of Suspected Abdominal Compartment Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Acute gastric dilatation is an uncommon surgical pathology, leading to gastric ischemia, necrosis, perforation, sepsis, and death if untreated. While rare, the development of abdominal compartment syndrome is also a devastating complication of this entity. We present a case of a 42-year-old male with a history of gastric volvulus, presenting with severe acute abdominal distension and multi-organ failure. A diagnosis of acute gastric dilatation was made, with suspicion of abdominal compartment syndrome. Emergency laparotomy was performed when nasogastric decompression failed. Total gastrectomy without anastomosis was performed due to the patient's hemodynamic instability. However, he demised shortly after on the operating table. This case report demonstrates that even with rapid diagnosis and management, acute gastric dilatation continues to be associated with high mortality.
