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

A compressed air nozzle has the potential to result in lethal injuries when handled inappropriately. Owing to the rarity of colorectal perforations due to barotrauma, no clear pathway to managing them has been established. We report an incident of a 33-year-old male patient who presented with tension pneumoperitoneum due to rectosigmoid perforations after being subjected to transanal compressed air insult. An emergency laparoscopic exploration with primary repair of the rectal perforation and Hartmann procedure were performed resulting in a smooth postoperative course. We hereby conclude that laparoscopy is a safe and effective approach associated with faster recovery and fewer adverse events.
