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

We present the case of a 29-year-old woman who arrived at the emergency department with clinical and radiological evidence of bowel obstruction caused by a strangulated Bochdalek hernia containing colon and epiploic fat. She underwent an emergency exploratory laparotomy. This case highlights a rare cause of colonic obstruction Bochdalek hernia, the diagnosis of which relies primarily on thoracoabdominal computed tomography, and for which prompt surgical intervention is crucial.
