Pneumatosis intestinalis revisited: associated imaging findings, clinical correlation, management, risk stratification and future perspectives.
Review in Emergency radiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is the imaging finding of air within the bowel wall. It constitutes a diagnostic challenge due to its broad differential and overlap in imaging appearances between benign and serious causes. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for accurate diagnosis and timely intervention, to optimize outcomes and minimize unnecessary procedures.
objectiveThis article aims to synthesize the literature to lay out the current state of the art in diagnosing and managing PI and discuss future perspectives. We review a series of associated imaging features including portomesenteric venous gas, vascular thrombosis, abnormal bowel wall enhancement, and bowel wall thickening or thinning. We also discuss less specific but commonly seen findings like pneumoperitoneum, ascites and fat stranding, emphasizing their context-dependent significance. We review nuances in clinical interpretation of the severity of PI, discuss the discordance in interpretation of certain clinical markers, and important considerations in specific populations. To finish, we describe ongoing efforts related to risk stratification and its importance in PI management.
