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

A 44-year-old woman with an unremarkable medical history presented to another hospital complaining of lower abdominal pain and nausea. The clinical presentation was consistent with an acute abdomen, raising suspicion of gastrointestinal tract perforation. However, imaging studies failed to provide evidence of perforation. Subsequently, the patient was diagnosed with peritonitis of unknown origin and promptly administered broad-spectrum antibiotics in a fasting state. Although the patient initially exhibited unstable symptoms, hemodynamics, and serology, she gradually improved over three days, with values approaching normal levels. On the sixth day of hospitalization, a follow-up abdominal computed tomography scan revealed pleural effusions, extensive ascites, and intra-abdominal stranding. The thickened wall of the small intestine and intra-abdominal stranding that were suggestive of peritonitis were further exacerbated. On the seventh day of hospitalization, aerobic and anaerobic blood cultures revealed the presence of Gram-positive cocci, later confirmed to be
