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

Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO) is characterized by significant colonic distension without a mechanical obstruction. We present a case of an 83-year-old male who developed ACPO following laparoscopic surgery for sigmoid volvulus. This report details the patient's postoperative journey, highlighting the diagnostic and management challenges encountered. Despite various medical interventions, the patient's condition necessitated further surgical attention due to complications. This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and aggressive management in ACPO to prevent life-threatening consequences and improve patient outcomes.
