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

Intestinal neuronal dysplasia type B (IND B) is currently considered to be a subtle malformation of the submucosal plexus, leading to an increased proportion of over-sized ganglia and potentially accompanied by a mild, chronic gastrointestinal motility disturbance. The diagnosis of IND B is morphologically based and involves the demonstration of an increased proportion of giant ganglia in the submucous plexus related to the patient's age. Giant ganglia are physiologically frequent in the neonatal period. Therefore, IND B should not be diagnosed prior to 1 year of age. Morphological features of IND B may occur as an isolated finding or may be observed proximal to an aganglionic segment. IND B and constipation may resolve spontaneously up to the age of 4 years. Treatment of IND B is usually conservative, surgical resection is currently deemed necessary only in a minority of patients. The pathogenesis of IND B is still incompletely understood and the etiology unknown. Future research on the basis of standardized diagnostic conditions is expected to result in a better understanding of this disease, and to reveal the cause of aberrant ganglion development.
