Unusual ultrastructural features in microvillous inclusion disease: A report of two cases.

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
Microvillous Inclusion Disease (MID) is an inherited disorder characterized by intractable diarrhea in infancy. Ultrastructural detection of pathognomonic microvillous inclusions in the enterocytes is essential for diagnosis. The aim of this research is to contribute to the knowledge of MID studying enterocytes and goblet cells (gc). Samples of duodenal mucosa from two young infants with MID (aged 75 days and 3 months, respectively) were studied by light and electron microscopy. Detection in the intestinal villi of immature gc (with microvilli) in one of the cases led us to seek them in control samples. The total number of gc with microvilli (immature) and without microvilli (mature) were counted. In both MID specimens, light microscopy showed atrophy of villi and PAS-positive material in the enterocyte cytoplasm. The ultrastructure of villous enterocytes was characterized by brush-border abnormalities, microvillous inclusions, dense apical granules, and lysosomes. Intermediate structures between microvillous inclusions and lysosomes were also detected within a cell, as were rare microvilli on the lateral membrane of the enterocytes. In one MID specimen, immature gc were also identified in the absorptive compartment. Only mature gc were observed in the controls. The significance of the latter finding requires further studies.
