Gastric anisakiasis suspected by point-of-care ultrasound finding in the emergency department.

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
Background: The diagnosis of gastric anisakiasis is typically confirmed by detecting larvae during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Therefore, it is important to raise clinical suspicion to prompt this procedure. While abdominal computed tomography is often performed for this purpose, the utility of ultrasound as a workup for gastric anisakiasis is not well established. Case Presentation: A 40-year-old male with a past medical history significant for IgA vasculitis visited the emergency department with acute onset epigastric pain. The patient had sushi containing horse mackerel, mackerel, and sardines the night before admission. Point-of-care ultrasound revealed the thickened gastric wall, which enabled us to suspect gastric anisakiasis, prompting an emergent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. An emergency upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed the presence of three Conclusion: This case suggests that point-of-care ultrasound can be a powerful diagnostic tool when clinicians suspect gastric anisakiasis.
