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
rationaleDuodenal stump leakage followed by intra-abdominal hemorrhage is a rare but serious complication of gastrectomy. Managing this condition is highly challenging. We describe a novel approach using a combined intra- and extraluminal drainage system that proved to be a simple, safe, and effective solution. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 66-year-old male with a history of hypertension and coronary artery disease presented with a 1-year history of epigastric distension and discomfort. After undergoing radical total gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma, he developed increased abdominal drain output and pain, followed by acute hemorrhage from the drain site. DIAGNOSES: Postoperative duodenal stump leak (diagnosed on postoperative day [POD] 6 by computed tomography scan) complicated by subsequent rupture and hemorrhage of the left hepatic artery (confirmed on POD 10 during emergency laparoscopy).
interventionsThe initial duodenal leak (POD 6) was managed with computed tomography-guided percutaneous catheter drainage. On POD 10, due to an acute intra-abdominal hemorrhage, emergency surgery was performed. After securing hemostasis of the left hepatic artery and primary suturing of the duodenal leak, a 20-French T-tube was inserted into the duodenum for intraluminal decompression. A double-cannula system was then placed adjacent to the leak site for continuous extraluminal irrigation and suction. OUTCOMES: Following the procedure, the patient's condition improved steadily. The double-cannula irrigation system was removed on POD 30, and the patient was discharged. The T-tube was clamped on POD 30 and successfully removed on POD 48. The patient recovered completely without further complications. LESSONS: The technique of T-tube intraluminal drainage combined with continuous extraluminal irrigation via a double-cannula system provides an effective management strategy for duodenal stump leakage complicated by intra-abdominal hemorrhage. This case highlights that optimal outcomes in such complex scenarios are best achieved through a comprehensive strategy that integrates innovative surgical techniques with systematic perioperative nutritional and metabolic support.
