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

Adhesive small bowel obstruction is thought to be a disorder limited to the jejunum and ileum. As a result, the list of aetiologies for duodenal obstruction does not include adhesions. We report the case of a patient who presented with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO), but with no lesions identified on cross-sectional imaging or endoscopy. Laparoscopy revealed duodenal adhesions as the cause of her GOO. Kockerization of the duodenum led to resolution of her symptoms. This previously undocumented finding leads us to suggest that laparoscopy should be considered in patients who have features highly suspicious for GOO, but have no cause identified on investigation.
