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

A 62-year-old woman with long-standing short bowel syndrome on chronic total parenteral nutrition and multiple abdominal surgeries presented with acute on chronic abdominal pain and sepsis. Imaging revealed a disconnected, dilated small bowel segment in the right lower quadrant, consistent with a so-called orphaned bowel loop. Given surgical risk, she underwent a transrectal endoscopic ultrasound-guided enterocolostomy with successful creation of a coloenteric anastomosis using a 20-mm lumen-apposing metal stent. The noncommunicating bowel decompressed completely, and she achieved full symptom resolution. Follow-up endoscopy demonstrated spontaneous maturation of an internal enterocolonic fistula. This case highlights a novel, minimally invasive approach for managing noncommunicating bowel in complex surgical patients.
