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

purposeShort bowel syndrome (SBS) is a malabsorption disorder of the intestine, which leads to an inadequate alimentary supply. A number of therapeutic approaches are already in use, but research advances may provide new options in the future. The purpose of this paper was to provide an overview of the established therapeutic approaches together with a discussion of the future perspectives in the treatment of patients with SBS. We review those studies dealing with the treatment of SBS patients and discuss both surgical and non-surgical approaches together with tissue engineering.

methodsA systemic review of Medline-cited studies dealing with current practice and future perspectives in the treatment of short bowel in children was performed.

resultsSurgical approaches, non-surgical approaches, and tissue engineering which was used in the treatment of SBS were analyzed. Among the surgical approaches, the bowel lengthening procedures and small bowel transplantation are prevalent. Stimulants are most important concerning non-surgical approaches. Tissue engineering seems to be more experimental and was also evaluated.

conclusionThe treatment of SBS patients remains very complex. It is eminent to find the best therapeutic option for each patient and to individualize and modify the different possible types of applied techniques frequently.
