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

Large bowel obstruction is a known surgical emergency. Common causes include malignancies of the colon and benign conditions, including hernias, adhesions, and other less common conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, diverticular disease, and tuberculosis. However, the coexistence of hernias and colon neoplasm is a rare finding, one that is usually identified intraoperatively. In addition, there is no consensus on the best treatment route. We present a case of an 86-year-old male who presented in an emergency setting with an initial diagnosis of intestinal obstruction and an incarcerated left inguinal hernia. Upon exploratory laparotomy, the content was discovered to be an obstructed sigmoid colon due to a sigmoid colon neoplasm.
