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

Malignant small bowel obstruction (mSBO) is a frequent complication in patients with gastrointestinal or gynecologic cancers. For those with inoperable cancers and persistent obstructive symptoms, symptom palliation with a percutaneous gastrostomy tube (PGT) may be required. However, excessive fluid loss from the PGT can lead to significant fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base imbalances. We present a case of a man with metastatic colonic adenocarcinoma who developed mSBO, acute kidney injury, and metabolic alkalosis, all of which were effectively managed with octreotide.
