Not All Gastric Air Is Equal: A Case Report Highlighting the Difficulty in Distinguishing Between Benign and Lethal Gastric Pneumatosis.

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
Gastric pneumatosis is a rare radiologic finding characterized by intramural gas within the gastric wall and includes two entities, gastric emphysema (GE) and emphysematous gastritis (EG). GE is typically benign and noninfectious, whereas EG results from invasion by gas-forming organisms and carries high mortality. Distinguishing between them can be challenging, particularly in critically ill patients. A 34-year-old man with autism spectrum disorder, severe protein-calorie malnutrition, and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) dependence presented in shock following out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest requiring prolonged resuscitation. CT imaging demonstrated right lower lobe pneumonia and gastric pneumatosis remote from the PEG site. He had no abdominal symptoms. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed intact gastric mucosa without ischemia or necrosis. Blood cultures grew pan-susceptible
