Medical Management for Emphysematous Gastritis: Is It Time for a Standardized Approach?
Article in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Emphysematous gastritis (EG) is a rare form of gastritis with a high mortality rate caused by gas-forming organisms that infect the stomach wall. Due to the rarity of the condition, no established management guidelines exist. Historically, surgical exploration was favored, but more recently, the management has shifted to a non-surgical approach with antibiotics, gastric decompression, and bowel rest. Here, we detail the case of a 55-year-old male with EG in which medical management alone led to the complete resolution of his illness without complication. This case supports the efficacy of a medical management strategy for EG and highlights the duration of empiric antibiotics, the role for gastric decompression, bowel rest, and parenteral nutrition, and may guide a future standardized approach to treatment.
