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

Boerhaave syndrome is a rare condition that is often caused by forceful vomiting, often linked to overeating or alcohol intake. Early diagnosis and management are essential to reduce mortality and morbidity. Severe vomiting from any cause may trigger the same mechanism. Dengue fever is a viral illness; besides fever, nausea and vomiting are common. No cases of Boerhaave syndrome as a complication of dengue fever have been reported. We describe a patient with confirmed dengue fever who developed Boerhaave syndrome after severe vomiting and underwent prompt surgical repair with successful recovery. To our knowledge, this presents the first reported case of Boerhaave syndrome secondary to dengue fever-related vomiting. Recognition of this rare complication and timely surgical intervention are critical to prevent fatal outcomes.
