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

Diaphragm disease of the small bowel is a rare but well-documented complication of prolonged nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use. Characterized by circumferential mucosal diaphragms, the disease often presents as small bowel obstruction but can also lead to perforation. We report a case of small bowel perforation caused by a swallowed partial denture that became lodged at an ileal diaphragm in a patient with a history of long-term NSAID use. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically following a right hemicolectomy with primary stapled anastomosis. This case highlights the importance of considering diaphragm disease in patients on chronic NSAID therapy who present with signs of bowel obstruction or perforation, even when alternative diagnoses, such as Crohn's disease, are initially suspected.
