Stomach blowout post binge-eating episode: a case report.
Article in BJR case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 gastric dilatation is a rare but serious condition that can lead to ischemia, necrosis, and perforation of the stomach. This case report describes a 21-year-old female patient with an eating disorder who developed acute gastric necrosis and perforation following a binge-eating episode. A 21-year-old female with a history of eating disorder not otherwise specified presented to the referring hospital with severe abdominal pain, and on physical examination, the suspicion of subcutaneous emphysema. Chest radiography showed the subcutaneous emphysema and also revealed a pneumothorax and a possible pneumomediastinum. Her condition deteriorated, prompting a CT scan that showed extensive pneumomediastinum, subcutaneous emphysema, a massively distended stomach, and portal venous air. The patient was transferred to our hospital, where further imaging confirmed these findings. After further deterioration and a suspected perforation, a second CT scan was performed, confirming a gastric perforation with extensive free fluid in the abdomen. An exploratory laparotomy revealed gastric perforation with necrosis and peritonitis, necessitating a sleeve gastrectomy. The patient underwent successful surgery with resection of necrotic gastric tissue and sleeve gastrectomy. Postoperative recovery was uncomplicated, and follow-up showed no further complications. Early surgical intervention was crucial in managing this life-threatening condition. Acute gastric dilatation and subsequent necrosis are rare but potentially fatal complications in patients with eating disorders. Prompt recognition and surgical intervention are essential to reduce morbidity and mortality.
