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

Acute phlegmonous gastritis is a rare and life-threatening form of gastritis characterized by suppurative inflammation of the gastric wall. We present the case of a 66-year-old female with a history of diabetes and hypertension who presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea, progressing to refractory shock and severe metabolic acidosis. Abdominal imaging revealed diffuse thickening of the gastric wall with surrounding fat strands, suggesting acute phlegmonous gastritis. Despite aggressive resuscitation and critical care management, the patient's condition continued to deteriorate, and she ultimately succumbed to her illness. The importance of this case is early recognition, giving fluid resuscitation and broad empirical antibiotics, and prompt surgical intervention in acute phlegmonous gastritis, a condition with a high mortality rate.
