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

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) can show variant histological patterns in the gastrointestinal system. We present a case of an 11-year-old boy who has been followed up with a diagnosis of CVID since he was 6 months old. He presented with abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Colonoscopic biopsy showed crypt destructive colitis, severe decrease and focal absence of plasma cells. Three months later he suffered from abdominal pain, vomiting and bloody diarrhoea. Macroscopic examination of small intestinal resection material revealed multiple perforation areas, ulcers. Histopathology showed mild-moderate active enteritis with aphthous ulcers, purulent peritonitis, decrease in plasma cells and loss of primary follicles in lymph nodes. Histopathological findings were consistent with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-like CVID. Although in 6-10% of patients with CVID an IBD-like presentation is observed, this highly aggressive form is rarely seen. We present this case because of its extraordinary presentation displaying perforating active enteropathy.
