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

Emphysematous gastritis is a rare condition associated with a high mortality rate. It is associated with various medications, chronic medical problems, and ingestions. Individuals can present with abdominal symptoms and even hemodynamic changes. Evaluating the patient with computed tomography (CT) imaging can show inflammation of the gastric wall and intramural gas. A conservative approach is often used to treat emphysematous gastritis, although surgical intervention may be necessary. Our case involves a 67-year-old male patient who presented with acute encephalopathy and bradycardia. He was noted to have epigastric tenderness, so non-contrast CT imaging of the abdomen and pelvis was performed. The imaging revealed emphysematous gastritis. Our patient was successfully managed with intravenous antibiotics, intravenous fluids, proton-pump inhibitors, and nasogastric decompression. His encephalopathy and other symptoms improved while inpatient, and he was discharged in stable condition.
