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

Numerous diseases that involve the gastrointestinal tract reveal the presence of granulomas on histological analysis. Granulomatous diseases can be either primary or secondary to environmental factors. Granulomas are dynamic structures composed of organized collections of activated macrophages, including epithelioid and multinucleated giant cells, surrounded by lymphocytes. The formation of granulomas is usually in response to antigenic stimulation and is orchestrated through cytokines, immune cells and host genetics. In this Review, the pathogenesis and etiologies of granulomas of the gastrointestinal tract and liver are discussed, as are the available diagnostic tools to help differentiate their various underlying etiologies. In addition, the role of granulomas in harboring latent tuberculosis is reviewed. The effects of tumor necrosis factor antagonists and interferon-α on the development of granulomas are also discussed.
