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

Since the start of 2020, COVID-19 has profoundly impacted global health. Classically, the disease manifests with pulmonary symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, pneumonia, and respiratory distress. However, it is important to note that in addition to these pulmonary symptoms, COVID-19 can present with extrapulmonary symptoms. This case report involves an 82-year-old male who tested positive for the causative agent of COVID-19 - severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), whose presentation manifested with gastrointestinal symptoms in the form of colonic ileus. This report aims to highlight the pathophysiological mechanisms of COVID-19-associated ileus while also delving into the importance of timely intervention to prevent complications like intestinal perforation.
