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

Gastric bypass effectively treats morbid obesity but may cause complications like anastomotic strictures and marginal ulceration. Bowel perforation from foreign body ingestion is rare. A 49-year-old woman with previous gastric bypass presented with acute abdominal pain. A fish bone perforated her small intestine, causing an acute abdomen. Emergency laparotomy was performed, successfully repairing all perforations. Patients with gastric bypass may have anatomical changes increasing their risk of foreign body-induced perforation. Clinicians should consider this possibility when assessing sudden abdominal pain. Awareness of uncommon causes of abdominal pain in post-gastric bypass patients is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
