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

Although delayed gastric emptying promotes gastrointestinal bezoar formation in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), the association between movement of gastrointestinal bezoars and glycemic status remains unclear. We report a case of small bowel obstruction (SBO) caused by impaction of the migrated gastric bezoar into the small bowel in a patient with DM. Correction of hyperglycemia and lactic acidosis led to normalization of gastrointestinal motility, followed by expulsion of the impacted bezoar and resolution of SBO. This case suggests a link between hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and gastrointestinal motility based on visualization of gastrointestinal bezoar movement in the gastrointestinal tract using computed tomography.
