Predictive Impact of Peritoneal Computed Tomography Attenuation Values for the Severity of Upper Gastrointestinal Perforation.
Article in JMA journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the peritoneal computed tomography (CT) attenuation values and investigate their predictive impact for the severity of peritonitis in patients with upper gastrointestinal tract (UGI) perforations. Methods: Overall, 112 consecutive patients with UGI perforations who underwent plain CT were included in this study. Peritoneal CT attenuation values expressed in Hounsfield units (HUs) were measured on a workstation and investigated in relation to laboratory data obtained on admission, severity of illness, and hospital mortality. Results: Peritoneal CT attenuation values were significantly negatively correlated with the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (p < 0.01, R Conclusions: Evaluation of peritoneal CT attenuation values in patients with UGI perforation is simple and can be used to objectively assess the severity of peritonitis, which can serve as a reference for treatment strategies.
