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

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is a rare and usually benign condition in which multiple thin-walled cysts develop in the submucosa or subserosa of the gastrointestinal tract. While usually asymptomatic, severe cases can result in pneumoperitoneum, which can be managed surgically or medically depending on circumstances. A 35-year-old male patient presented with signs and symptoms of intestinal obstruction. Then the patient was diagnosed with pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis. The patient underwent surgery, and antibiotic treatment, and was discharged improved with no incident. Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is a surgical condition that resembles other life-threatening top surgical emergencies and affects clinicians' decisions on diagnosis and treatment plans substantially, mainly in low-income countries. So, surgeons have to consider such kind of conditions and avoid the costs and morbidities associated with unnecessary bowel resection or surgery.
