Isolated proximal jejunal perforation near the ligament of Treitz following blunt abdominal trauma: a case report.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Proximal jejunal injuries after blunt abdominal trauma are rare and challenging to diagnose early, with delayed recognition increasing morbidity. Management depends on hemodynamic status, injury severity, and contamination, with resection and primary anastomosis recommended when more than 50% of bowel circumference is compromised. A 38-year-old female sustained blunt abdominal trauma in a traffic accident and presented hemodynamically stable with peritoneal signs, leucocytosis, elevated inflammatory markers, and free intraperitoneal air. Laparotomy revealed a proximal jejunal perforation involving over 50% of the circumference, 10 cm distal to the ligament of Treitz. Segmental resection with primary anastomosis and abdominal lavage with two drains was performed. Recovery was uneventful, with bowel function returning on postoperative day (POD) 2 and discharge on POD 10. Follow-up confirmed full recovery. Early recognition and timely surgery are crucial, and primary anastomosis is safe in stable patients with significant circumferential injury.
