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

Bouveret syndrome describes an ectopic migrating gallstone resulting in gastric outlet obstruction via a cholecystoduodenal/cholecystogastric fistula. Due to its rarity, no current guidelines or formal consensus exist regarding its management or follow-up. We present a rare case of Bouveret syndrome in a man in his mid 80s. Attempts to endoscopically remove the impacted stone that caused the gastric outlet obstruction failed. We subsequently treated him with lithotripsy and gastrotomy alone with no further interventions, and contribute this case to existing literature regarding this complication of gallstone disease.
