Severe Pneumatosis Intestinalis and Hepatic Portal Venous Gas in a Patient With Methamphetamine Use: Early Recognition and Management.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) and hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) are rare but potentially life-threatening conditions characterized by the presence of gas within the bowel wall and portal venous system, respectively. This case report presents a 45-year-old male with a history of methamphetamine use who developed severe metabolic and hemodynamic instability, marked by altered mental status, metabolic acidosis, and ST elevations. Despite aggressive resuscitation and intensive care, the patient unfortunately succumbed to his condition, highlighting the gravity of these complications. This report underscores the importance of early recognition, comprehensive management, and timely surgical consultation to improve outcomes. It also emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach and further research to better understand these conditions and the significant role of methamphetamine use as a contributing factor.
