Barium-associated intestinal ischemia complicated with massive hepatic portal venous gas: A successful survival case report.

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
Barium-associated intestinal ischemia is a rare but life-threatening complication following upper gastrointestinal barium contrast examinations, with an incidence of less than 0.01%. Hepatic portal venous gas is a condition secondary to intra-abdominal lesions, such as intestinal ischemia and intestinal necrosis. When complicated by intestinal necrosis, the mortality rate of this condition can be as high as 50%-90%. Cases involving both barium-associated intestinal ischemia and hepatic portal venous gas are even rarer. We report the case of a 62-year-old male patient who underwent upper gastrointestinal barium contrast examination for evaluating potential gastrointestinal disorder. Eight hours after the procedure, he developed clinical symptoms, including abdominal pain, decreased blood pressure, and increased heart rate. Abdominal computed tomography revealed enteritis, with gas detected in the hepatic portal vein, superior mesenteric vein, and intestinal wall. After 12 h of active anti-infective treatment, the gas in the hepatic portal vein was absorbed, and the symptoms improved by the second day. The patient's condition improved on the fourth day of treatment, and follow-up at 1 month confirmed complete recovery. Barium-associated intestinal ischemia is a medical emergency characterized by rapid infection and multiorgan involvement. Hepatic portal venous gas is an important indicator of underlying intra-abdominal pathology. Early anti-infective treatment and intensive care unit monitoring are critical for favorable outcomes.
