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

Bouveret's syndrome, a rare and severe complication of gallstone disease, is characterized by gastric outlet obstruction resulting from the passage of a gallstone through a bilioenteric fistula, typically a cholecystoduodenal fistula. We present the case of a 68-year-old female patient with bilateral low back pain, nausea, vomiting, and constipation. Imaging revealed jejunal obstruction due to gallstone migration through a cholecystoduodenal fistula. Initial management involved nasogastric decompression and fluid resuscitation, followed by enterolithotomy. Diagnosis of Bouveret's syndrome is challenging due to nonspecific symptoms. Imaging, particularly computed tomography (CT), is essential for identifying Rigler's triad: pneumobilia, bowel obstruction, and ectopic gallstone. Early intervention is essential to avoid complications. This case highlights the complexity of diagnosing and managing Bouveret's syndrome. A high degree of clinical suspicion is essential for accurate diagnosis and timely treatment, ensuring the optimal management of Bouveret's syndrome.
