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

The inheritance of the sickle gene (hemoglobin S) and another abnormal hemoglobin gene is described as sickle cell disease, and the homozygous form of the disease is hemoglobin SS. In sickle cell disease, abdominal pain is a common symptom attributed to circulatory stasis and vascular occlusion, along with chest and musculoskeletal pain for which nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are often prescribed. This report presents the case of a 21-year-old man with sequential gastric and ileal perforations related to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug usage. Gastrointestinal perforation should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients who present with abdominal pain accompanied with symptoms such as peritonitis, shock, or sepsis. Furthermore, perforation may be sequential with perforation of the stomach followed by that of the ileum. The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in patients with sickle cell disease requires further revaluation.
