Incidental pneumatosis intestinalis in a patient with chronic kidney disease: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is a clinical condition characterized by the presence of gas within the bowel wall and is considered a rare medical finding. While PI may be harmless in some cases, it can also signal more severe gastrointestinal pathology, including ischemia, bowel obstruction, or perforation. We present the case of an 87 year old male with end-stage kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (HD), in whom PI was incidentally discovered during a follow up computed tomography (CT) performed for a renal mass. The patient was asymptomatic, and the CT findings showed no signs of ischemia, bowel obstruction or perforation. This case underscores the importance of correlating clinical and imaging data to avoid unnecessary surgery interventions. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive review of the pathogenesis, causes, diagnosis and management of PI. Further research is warranted to investigate the potential link between chronic kidney disease, HD, and the development of PI.
