Benign Vomiting-Induced Hepatic Portal Venous Gas: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) is a rare but significant radiological finding traditionally associated with severe abdominal pathology, particularly bowel ischaemia. However, advances in imaging have led to the recognition of benign and self-limiting causes. We report the case of a 34-year-old female with longstanding type 1 diabetes mellitus, autonomic dysfunction, and stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD), who presented with severe vomiting, abdominal pain, and malaise. CT revealed HPVG without any evidence of bowel compromise or ischaemia. The patient was successfully managed with conservative treatment, including intravenous fluids, antiemetics, and insulin therapy, resulting in rapid clinical improvement and resolution of the HPVG on follow-up imaging. This report underscores the importance of recognising vomiting-induced HPVG as a benign phenomenon and highlights the essential role of careful clinical assessment in avoiding unnecessary surgical interventions.
