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

A 5-year-old male presented with a 1-day history of vomiting, epigastric pain, loose stools and poor oral intake. The child had intermittent symptoms of abdominal pain and vomiting for the past 2 years and there was a strong family history of chronic hereditary pancreatitis. A random serum amylase was elevated at 2320 IU/l. Abdominal ultrasound scan revealed no abnormalities. On the basis of the family history, positive symptoms and elevated amylase, a diagnosis of hereditary pancreatitis was made. The child received symptomatic management and treatment for his acute illness. He is currently awaiting results from molecular testing.
