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

An older woman presented to the hospital with abdominal pain and subsequently had three episodes of melaena, requiring blood transfusions. She was known to suffer with severe depression and was on high-dose fluoxetine. Gastroscopy and colonoscopy failed to reveal an underlying cause for gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Possibility of high-dose selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors causing GI bleed was raised. Fluoxetine was discontinued and the patient was commenced on mirtazapine. The patient had no further GI bleeding and had significant improvement in haemoglobin.
