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

backgroundGastric lavage (GL) is one of the most important early therapies to remove unabsorbed toxins from the gastrointestinal tract. However, the details of performing gastric lavage remain to be established. There is controversy in clinical practice regarding individual choice of the timing of GL and its efficiency. CASE SUMMARY: We report the case of a young woman who presented to the Emergency Department with drug intoxication for four hours. We used the latest toxicological screening techniques to compare drug concentrations in the patient's blood and gastric lavage fluid before and after gastric lavage. The results confirmed that gastric lavage was effective in reducing drug concentrations in the stomach; a small amount of drug remained in the stomach at the end of gastric lavage.

conclusionGastric lavage is effective in reducing drug concentrations in the stomach, with a small amount of drug remaining in the stomach at the end of gastric lavage.
