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

introductionJuvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) is a rare, autosomal dominant condition. The polyps predominate in the colon but may be seen less commonly in the stomach or small intestine. We report an unusual case of JPS associated with massive gastric polyposis, resulting in a giant stomach, severe anemia, hematemesis, protein-losing enteropathy, and gastric outlet obstruction. Progressive complications ultimately necessitated a total gastrectomy. CASE: A 27-year-old woman presented in 2005 with severe anemia. Gastroscopy revealed severe gastric polyposis. Histopathology confirmed juvenile polyposis. Gastrectomy was initially declined. Progressive hematemesis, hypoproteinemia, and gastric outlet obstruction, however, resulted in a total gastrectomy 5 years following initial presentation. Massive gastric polyposis resulted in severe gastromegaly.
