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

Subepithelial lesions of the gastrointestinal tract are frequently encountered and are most often benign. Among the etiologies of subepithelial lesions, duodenal abscesses are exceptionally uncommon. Duodenal abscesses may have imaging characteristics that overlap with malignancy. A patient with history of necrotizing cholecystitis presented with abdominal pain 3 months after his cholecystectomy. Cross-sectional imaging revealed suspected duodenal malignancy. Endoscopic ultrasound identified a subepithelial lesion allowing for diagnosis and treatment of an intramural duodenal abscess. This case highlights an uncommon, delayed, postsurgical complication demonstrating the utility of endoscopic ultrasound in its diagnosis and management. Endoscopic ultrasound should be considered early in similar presentations.
