Emphysematous Gastritis Secondary to Embolic Infarction: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
We report the case of a 73-year-old female with diet-controlled diabetes mellitus and atrial fibrillation on apixaban who presented with acute postprandial epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting. The CT imaging revealed portal venous gas, intramural gastric gas, and splenic infarction, raising concern for emphysematous gastritis with associated ischemia. She underwent urgent total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction, which demonstrated full-thickness gastric necrosis and splenic infarction. Postoperatively, she recovered uneventfully following multidisciplinary management, including broad-spectrum antibiotics, nutritional support, and transition from apixaban to warfarin. This case illustrates the diagnostic challenges of emphysematous gastritis, which may present with subtle clinical findings despite catastrophic pathology. The presence of portal venous gas and associated infarction should prompt urgent surgical evaluation. Early recognition and timely intervention can improve outcomes in this otherwise highly fatal condition.
