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

This case report presents a valuable instance of post-electrocoagulation syndrome (PECS) following argon plasma coagulation (APC) for angiodysplasia in the ascending colon. A 66-year-old male with decompensated liver cirrhosis and chronic kidney disease underwent APC to treat bleeding. Although the immediate outcomes were satisfactory, he developed localized abdominal pain and fever approximately eight hours after the procedure. Subsequent computed tomography and colonoscopy confirmed PECS without perforation. The patient's condition improved with conservative management. This case underscores the importance of recognizing PECS as a potential complication of APC, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring and appropriate intervention in clinical practice. These findings offer further clinical insight.
