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

Mallory-Weiss tear (MWT) is a mucosal laceration at the esophagogastric junction. This case report aims to present a rare case of MWT associated with small bowel obstruction (SBO). A 74-year-old female presented with hematemesis and abdominal pain. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) showed blood in the esophagus and stomach with a tear in the cardia. Computed tomography scan of the abdomen demonstrated multiple dilated small bowel loops with a distal ileal transition point in the pelvis. The patient underwent a midline laparotomy. Seven cases of MWT and SBO were identified. The most common presentation was hematemesis, seen in six patients (85.71%). Abdominal pain was reported in one case (14.28%). Two patients were treated with medication (28.57%), and five underwent surgery (71.42%). This study highlights the importance of recognizing MWT not merely as an isolated cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, but potentially as a secondary manifestation of increased intra-abdominal pressure.
