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

Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is a clinical condition in which an underlying disease process leads to a lack of gastric emptying. The presentation and management of GOO due to a variety of benign and malignant causes have been researched; however, limited medical literature exists on the presentation and management of refractory GOO caused by a duodenal stricture secondary to a cholecystoduodenal fistula. This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges and the significance of timely intervention. This case of a 66-year-old female with GOO refractory to multiple endoscopic interventions demonstrates the presentation and management of such a rare cause of GOO and highlights the importance of surgical consultation in persistent GOO. The etiology of GOO varies widely, requiring a range of treatments from medical management to surgery. This case underscores the importance of identifying the cause to ensure effective treatment. Cholecystoduodenal fistulas are rare but significant, often necessitating surgical intervention when endoscopic procedures fail. Our patient had a duodenal stricture due to a cholecystoduodenal fistula, indicating the necessity for surgical consultation.
