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

Introduction: Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a widely used technique for hemostasis and ablation in gastrointestinal tract lesions due to its ease of use and safety. However, gastrointestinal tract muscle injury can occur with high-power settings and prolonged application. Case Presentation: We present a case of an elderly female with angiodysplasia bleeding in the second portion of the duodenum treated with APC, resulting in a complication of bowel wall perforation and peritonitis. Conclusion: Acute perforation has been rarely reported with APC, either due to direct wall injury or explosion from overinflation. To avoid perforation, careful control of ablation power and duration, especially in regions with a thin gastrointestinal wall such as the gastric fundus and ascending colon, should be maintained.
