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

Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is defined as sustained intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) exceeding 20 mmHg, leading to organ hypoperfusion and dysfunction. Although most cases arise from intra-abdominal or retroperitoneal hemorrhage, ACS may also occur after massive transfusion due to capillary leak and fluid overload. We describe an 82-year-old man presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding from a duodenal ulcer who required massive transfusion. During resuscitation, he developed progressive ventilatory failure with rising airway pressures and refractory hypoxemia. Intra-vesical IAP measured 85 mmHg, confirming severe ACS. Emergency decompressive laparotomy evacuated over two liters of serous fluid and revealed a markedly distended bowel filled with intraluminal blood but no hemoperitoneum. Ventilatory parameters improved immediately after decompression. Despite timely surgical intervention and intensive supportive care, the patient developed renal failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), methicillin-resistant
