Terminal ileitis induced by Henoch-Schonlein purpura that presented as acute appendicitis: a case report.
Article in Medicine, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is a self-limited autoimmune disease, the cause of which is not clear. Gastrointestinal involvement is often the main symptom of HSP. We report an unusual and rare case in a patient who was diagnosed with HSP. This is the second report of terminal ileitis induced by HSP that presented as acute appendicitis. We report a 21-year-old man who presented with right lower abdominal pain, and was diagnosed with acute appendicitis. Terminal ileitis was diagnosed intraoperatively, and when a rash occurred postoperatively, the final diagnosis was HSP. When the rash occurred, HSP was diagnosed and methylprednisolone was administered for 5 days. The diagnosis of HSP is difficult to establish, especially when the purpura occurs after gastrointestinal involvement; thus, abdominal pain should not be ignored and HSP should be considered.
