Prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia, overlapping symptoms, and associated factors in a general population of Bangladesh.
Article in Indian journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07694778 (Prevalence of Functional Dyspepsia in Rural Community of Bangladesh), which is not on this map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.

Abstract
backgroundThis community-based survey aimed to find out the prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional dyspepsia (FD), overlapping symptoms, and associated factors for overlap.
methodBy cluster sampling method, 3,000 (1,523 male) randomly selected adult subjects in the Sylhet district of Bangladesh were interviewed by a questionnaire based on ROME III criteria. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were done to find out the factors for overlap with significance level set at ≤0.05.
resultsThe mean age of the study population was 33.9 ± 16.4 years. Prevalence of IBS and FD and IBS-FD were 12.9 % (n = 387), 8.3 % (n = 249), and 3.5 % (n = 105), respectively. Approximately 27.1 % of IBS patients and 42.1 % of FD patients had overlapping IBS-FD. The odds ratio for IBS-FD overlap was 6.3 (95 % CI, 4.8-8.4). Mean age (p = 0.011) and epigastric pain (p = 0.002) were more in overlap patients than FD alone, whereas epigastric pain syndrome subtype (p < 0.009) was more prevalent in lone FD subjects. In the multivariate logistic analysis, early satiety (OR, 3.0; 95 % CI, 1.2-7.5; p = 0.018) and epigastric pain (OR, 14.5; 95 % CI, 5.0-42.1; p = 0.000) in FD patients appeared as independent risk factors for overlap. Bloating (p = 0.026), <3 stools per week (p = 0.050), abdominal pain reduced by defecation (p = 0.002), abdominal pain severity score (p = 0.004), and overall symptom frequency score (p = 0.000) were more in overlap patients than IBS-alone patients. In IBS patients, bloating (OR, 3.6; CI, 2.0-6.5; p = 0.000) was found as potential symptom associated with IBS-FD overlap.
conclusionFD was a less prevalent disorder than IBS in our community, and significant overlap existed between the two disorders. Early satiety, epigastric pain, and bloating were important factors associated with overlap.
