Imaging of acute small bowel pathologies in oncology patients in the ER part I: the role of Computed Tomography (CT) for the evaluation of Tumor and infections.
Review in Emergency radiology, 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
Acute abdominal complaints constitute up to 40% of all emergency department (ED) presentations in oncology patients due to a multitude of causes. Small bowel pathologies present a diagnostic challenge due to their diverse range and frequently overlapping clinical presentation. In oncology patients, structural changes resulting from tumor growth, surgery and treatment effects can further complicate the diagnostic process. Due to a weakened immune system, oncology patients are also highly susceptible to infections of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Traditional computed tomography (CT) scans are used as the gold standard diagnostic modality. However, three-dimensional (3D) postprocessing techniques including maximal intensity projection (MIP), volume rendering (VR) and cinematic rendering (CR) have been employed to aid image evaluation. For a balanced and organized approach to describe diagnostic challenges in this complex population, we have divided the pictorial essay into two parts. The first part focuses on tumor- and infection-associated causes, as summarized below in the visual abstract. The second part will address treatment-related complications, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, graft-versus-host disease and post-surgical complications.
