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

backgroundAbdominal cocoons (ACs) lack characteristic clinical manifestations and are mainly intestinal obstructions that are difficult to distinguish from intestinal obstruction caused by other causes, resulting in difficult preoperative diagnosis and misdiagnosis and mistreatment. There are no reports of enterostomy occlusion caused by ACs in the literature at home and abroad. CASE SUMMARY: Here, we report a 16-year-old female patient with intestinal obstruction due to AC. She was treated with abdominal surgery three times. First, she underwent a laparotomy for peritonitis after trauma from a traffic accident. During the procedure, pelvic empyema, severe intestinal adhesions, and damage to the serous layer of the rectum were found, but no significant intestinal rupture and perforation were found. As a precaution, she underwent a prophylactic ileostomy after a flush in her abdomen. The second and third surgeries were for treatment of recurrent stoma obstruction. The patient's condition was complicated for a long period, but after comprehensive treatment by our department, the patient was successfully discharged from the hospital and is currently recovering well.

conclusionCurrently, abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography is the best imaging modality for preoperative evaluation of AC, but most patients are diagnosed only after intraoperative exploration. For the treatment of typical or severe ACs, the primary method of removal and healing of ACs is complete removal of the abdominal fibrous membrane. Finding a breakthrough in the anatomy is the key to the success of the surgery.
