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

Introduction Stress-related mucosal disease (SRMD) encompasses a spectrum of gastric mucosal injuries, ranging from superficial erosions to deep ulcerations, typically occurring in critically ill patients due to mucosal ischemia and impaired protective mechanisms. It is a frequent and serious complication among patients in intensive care units (ICUs), with stress ulcer prophylaxis (SUP) widely used to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. However, inappropriate use of SUP can expose patients to avoidable risks, including ventilator-associated pneumonia and
