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

Hemobezoar is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction after mini gastric bypass/one anastomosis gastric bypass. Clot formation is often caused by bleeding in the anastomotic staple line. Symptoms include abdominal pain, vomiting, and abdominal distension. Surgical treatment should be performed promptly to prevent serious complications, such as anastomotic leaks, intestinal perforation, and death. Intraoperative endoscopy is useful for examining intraluminal mucosa and identifying the cause of the obstruction. This report describes a case of hemobezoar in a male patient. Few cases of hemobezoar have been reported in the literature.
