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

backgroundSpontaneous fistulization of a gastric perforation to the skin is an extremely rare condition whose pathophysiology and etiology remain difficult to explain, especially since histological examination did not find any cancer cells. CASE PRESENTATION: A-45 year-old male of Black African descent, residing in a rural area, was admitted to the General Reference Hospital with a spontaneous gastrocutaneous fistula. The history revealed the intake of nonsteroidal anti-¡inflammatory drugs for pain from a chronic foot wound. After imaging exploration (ultrasound, then computed tomography scan) proved noncontributory, an exploratory laparotomy confirmed a crater on the anterior surface of the gastric antrum leading to the skin, resembling a surgical gastrostomy; there was no mass or sign of peritoneal carcinosis. An atypical gastrectomy confirmed the benign clinical picture.

conclusionThe interest of this observation lies in its unusual character and encourages etiopathogenic research through the literature.
