Abdominal Compartment Syndrome Secondary to Constipation in an Adult Patient With Cerebral Palsy.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The majority of patients with constipation can often be treated conservatively with laxatives, suppositories, or enemas in mild cases. However, endoscopic decompression or surgical intervention may be required in some instances. Abdominal compartment syndrome as a result of constipation is rarely seen in the literature. We report a case of faecal impaction, which led to abdominal compartment syndrome in an adult patient with cerebral palsy. With increasing life expectancy, such cases may be increasingly encountered in the adult population. Severe complications of constipation should not be overlooked, especially in this at-risk population. Early recognition of abdominal compartment syndrome is key in its management.
