Surgical management of duodenal perforation complicated with retroperitoneal abscesses and paralytic ileus: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Duodenal perforation is a critical gastrointestinal emergency that poses significant morbidity and mortality risks globally. This case report examines a unique presentation of duodenal perforation in a 78-year-old male patient who initially exhibited chronic abdominal pain and paralytic ileus, a manifestation not commonly associated with this condition. The patient underwent coronary stent implantation 5 years ago following myocardial infarction (MI) and has been on long-term oral aspirin therapy since. Upon admission, he displayed worsening symptoms, which included distension, inability to eat, and minimal bowel movement. Initial management strategies involving fasting, acid suppression, and antibiotics failed to ameliorate his condition. A follow-up abdominal CT scan revealed paralytic ileus, duodenal edema, and ultimately, retroperitoneal gas and abscess. An urgent laparoscopic exploration confirmed duodenal perforation, leading to surgical intervention that included suturing the perforation and draining the retroperitoneal space. This case underscores the importance of recognizing atypical presentations of duodenal perforation, advocating for heightened awareness and prompt intervention to mitigate serious complications associated with delayed diagnosis.
