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

Tension gastrothorax is a rare but potentially fatal complication of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, frequently mistaken for tension pneumothorax. Early recognition is essential to avoid delays in definitive management. We describe the case of a 14-month-old boy who presented with sudden respiratory distress and non-productive vomiting. Imaging revealed a tension gastrothorax caused by herniation of the stomach, spleen, and colon through a diaphragmatic defect. The patient underwent emergency surgery with successful reduction of the herniated organs and repair of the defect. This case highlights the importance of considering tension gastrothorax in the differential diagnosis of acute pediatric respiratory distress with mediastinal shift. CT imaging plays a crucial role in accurate diagnosis, and timely surgical intervention is lifesaving.
