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

Hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) is a rare radiological finding most commonly associated with bowel ischaemia and high mortality. However, it can also occur in benign conditions such as diverticulitis, where the clinical course may be less severe. Management decisions must balance the alarming imaging appearance with the patient's clinical stability. We present the case of a 47-year-old male patient with underlying diverticular disease who developed extensive HPVG and mesenteric venous gas secondary to sigmoid diverticulitis. Despite the dramatic radiological findings, he remained haemodynamically stable with no signs of peritonism. Blood cultures grew
