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

Emphysematous gastritis is a rare and life-threatening condition characterized by the presence of gas within the gastric wall, typically caused by gas-forming microorganisms. It is thought to arise from the disruption of mucosal integrity in the setting of underlying predisposing factors. Given its high mortality rate, early recognition and prompt management are critical to improving outcomes. We present a rare case of emphysematous gastritis secondary to advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. A limited number of cases describing an association between emphysematous gastritis and malignancy have been reported in the literature, with only a small subset linked to gastric adenocarcinoma. This case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for atypical and malignant etiologies, particularly in patients with nonspecific presentations, as delayed diagnosis may result in rapid clinical deterioration and poor outcomes.
