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

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder associated with abdominal pain or discomfort and altered bowel habits. The majority of patients describe an insidious onset of symptoms; however, a subset report a fairly precise time of onset following an attack of acute gastroenteritis. Typically, the potential acute infectious symptoms, such as fever and vomiting, resolve after several days, but abdominal discomfort, bloating, and diarrhea persist. Although the underlying mechanism of post-infectious IBS (PI-IBS) has not been established, ongoing inflammation appears to play a role, with an increase in serotonin-containing enterochromaffin cells, T lymphocytes, mast cells, proinflammatory cytokines, and intestinal permeability. Psychiatric comorbidities are less common in PI-IBS, compared with IBS patients in general; however, the prevalence of psychological disorders is still higher compared with that in the general population and is associated with a poorer prognosis. Overall, patients with PI-IBS have a slightly improved prognosis compared with those with IBS without an infectious onset.
