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
Adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) in the immediate postpartum period is uncommon and may mimic postoperative ileus. A 26-year-old woman returned 48 hours after repeat cesarean section with abdominal distension, vomiting, and obstipation. Her history included a previous cesarean delivery and prior midline laparotomy for ovarian torsion with appendectomy and right salpingo-oophorectomy. Radiography showed dilated small-bowel loops with air-fluid levels, without initial peritoneal signs. After nasogastric decompression and observation, she deteriorated ~10 hours later with worsening pain, peritoneal signs, hypotension, tachypnea, and hypoxemia. Repeat imaging demonstrated pneumoperitoneum and complex intraperitoneal fluid. Emergency laparotomy revealed dense ASBO, generalized fecal peritonitis, and ileal perforation 20 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve. Segmental ileal resection with end ileostomy was performed. She required 5 days of intensive care. Ileostomy reversal 5 months after discharge was uncomplicated, with no major complications at 3-month follow-up.
