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 11-year-old girl was referred to oral medicine with persistent facial swelling. She was diagnosed with orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) and was treated conservatively for 7 years, with no evidence of systemic illness. Aged 17 she re-presented with a flare up of her OFG, watery diarrhoea and fluctuating febrile episodes. Inflammatory markers were raised and an MR enterogram revealed terminal ileal Crohn's disease. This case highlights that OFG may precede the onset of intestinal Crohn's disease.
