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 gastric rupture resulting from abdominal trauma is a rare occurrence with a frequency of less than 2% of blunt abdominal injuries. Furthermore, gastric perforation secondary to the Heimlich maneuver is even rarer, with only a handful of cases reported in the literature. Here, we present a case of isolated gastric rupture following a successful Heimlich maneuver. Laparotomy revealed a large perforation along the lesser curvature of the stomach. The perforation was repaired by primary closure and reinforced with omental patching.
