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

Hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) is an infrequent and life-threatening condition with high morbidity and mortality rates, which consists of the presence of gas in the portal vein and its branches. Improvements in imaging technologies have led to the diagnosis of HPVG in less severe circumstances, which, in turn, has only determined a small amelioration of the prognosis. We present a rare case of HPVG subsequent to paralytic ileus in a patient who attained long-term survival after the surgical treatment was performed. HPVG is considered to be associated with sepsis, parietal/mucosal damage, inflammation of the intraperitoneal organs, and meteorism, which may be found in a variety of pathologies. The severity of this pathology depends on the pre-existing conditions of the patients but also on how quickly a treatment plan is established and applied. As a correct and timely diagnosis is crucial for the increase of the survival rate in HPVG, greater attention shall be paid to the clinical manifestations and the differential diagnosis.
