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
We present the unusual case of a 52-year-old woman from a low-resource community in Guatemala who developed small bowel obstruction, followed by acute pulmonary edema. The patient had no prior history of abdominal surgeries or significant comorbidities, making this presentation unexpected. The obstruction was caused by a bezoar and complicated by fluid overload during resuscitation. Radiologic findings revealed dilated bowel loops, suggesting bowel obstruction, and Kerley B lines, indicating concurrent pulmonary edema. This report underscores the challenges of managing complex emergencies in resource-limited settings, highlighting the importance of timely surgical intervention and careful fluid management.
