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

Adhesive colonic obstruction is a rare but clinically significant late complication following esophageal reconstruction with colon interposition. This case report describes a 68-year-old woman with a history of caustic esophageal injury and colonic interposition, presenting 12 years postoperatively with acute intolerance to oral intake and thoracic colonic distension. Imaging and endoscopy confirmed mechanical obstruction due to an adhesion. Surgical adhesiolysis restored conduit patency, resulting in uneventful recovery. This case highlights the importance of long-term surveillance and prompt multidisciplinary management for late mechanical complications in colonic interposition patients, as late morbidity - including obstruction, redundancy, and stricture - can occur years after initial surgery and may require surgical intervention to preserve conduit function and patient quality of life.
