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

backgroundHypoganglionosis is a rare gastrointestinal acquired motility disorder that resembles Hirschsprung's disease and can manifest in the adult life. Abdominal compartment syndrome, a condition characterized by an increase in intra-abdominal pressure with physiological disturbance can be caused by severe massive fecal impaction. CASE SUMMARY: A 33-year-old female presented to the emergency room with massive abdominal distension that rapidly progressed to abdominal compartment syndrome. The patient was diagnosed with hypoganglionosis. Life-saving emergent proctocolectomy was performed to save the patient.

conclusionAbdominal compartment syndrome can develop secondary to excessive colonic distension. This extreme but rare situation must be addressed immediately. Hypoganglionosis is a potential cause of severe constipation that may present in adulthood.
