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

backgroundAfferent loop syndrome (ALS) is a rare complication, Aoki CASE SUMMARY: The patient was a 58-year-old man who complained of recurrent high fever for more than 1 week. Laboratory tests showed an increase in neutrophil ratio, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, and abnormal liver function. Enhanced computed tomography scan of the abdomen showed small intestinal obstruction between the anastomosis of the gastrojejunum, bile duct, and pancreaticoduodenum. Gastroscopy revealed significant narrowing of the lumen 15 cm from the anastomosis into the afferent loop. After performing balloon dilation and placement of the nutrition tube, the patient did not experience further fever.

conclusionALS is relatively rare after pancreaticoduodenectomy, and the treatment depends on the nature of the obstructive lesion. The traditional treatment method is surgery, and in recent years, endoscopy has provided a new treatment method for ALS.
