Clinical Characteristics and Treatment Outcomes of Cryptogenic Multifocal Ulcerous Stenosing Enteritis in Korea.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
backgroundCryptogenic multifocal ulcerous stenosing enteritis (CMUSE) is a rare disease that is characterized by multiple, recurring small intestinal ulcers with stenosis of unknown causes. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics and the treatment outcomes of patients with CMUSE in Korea.
methodsWe performed a multicenter study to retrospectively analyze clinical data from 20 patients who suffered from CMUSE between 1984 and 2012. Their clinical characteristics and long-term disease courses were investigated.
resultsThe most common initial symptom of CMUSE was abdominal pain (14/20, 70 %). Small bowel series (13/20, 65 %), double-balloon enteroscopy (12/20, 60 %), CT enterography (12/20, 60 %), and capsule endoscopy (10/20, 50 %) were used to diagnose CMUSE. The strictures of the patients were located in the jejunum (5/20, 25 %), ileum (7/20, 35 %), and both jejunum and ileum (6/20, 30 %). The number of patients in a state of remission, persistent disease, and relapse at the end of follow-up were 13/20 (65 %), 2/20 (10 %), and 5/20 (25 %), respectively. The median relapse-free survival was of 67.1 months. Seventy-five percent relapse-free survivals for female and male patients were 93 and 9 months, respectively (P = 0.031).
conclusionCMUSE is difficult to diagnose and is an easily relapsing disease. Female patients might have a better prognosis than male patients in terms of the relapse-free time.
