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

aimThe purpose of this study was to describe the occurrence of self report bloating and related factors in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

backgroundBloating symptoms are common in patients with IBS and have significant impact on normal daily function. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis study was a community-based cross-sectional survey that conducted using a valid questionnaire base on Rome III criteria. Univariate analysis was used for investigation about distribution of self reported bloating according to demographic and psychological factors in irritable bowel syndrome patients.

resultsOut of 18180 subjects under study, 198 cases met criteria for the diagnosis of the irritable bowel syndrome according to criteria ROME III and 61.6% reported bloating symptoms. Bloating symptoms were more prevalent among patients with intermittent symptoms and diarrhea than in patients with constipation. Catastrophic events and depression were independent risk factors for bloating.

conclusionFindings of this study support the clinical impression regarding the high prevalence of bloating symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Further studies are needed to understand the role of physiological and psychological factors and their interaction in development of bloating in irritable bowel syndrome patients.
