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

Ulcerative colitis (UC)-associated pan-enteritis is a newly identified clinical entity that occurs almost exclusively after colectomy. Characterized by diffuse small bowel mucosal inflammation not compatible with Crohn's disease, the optimal treatment modality for this condition is unknown. Tacrolimus is a potent calcineurin inhibitor that has been successfully used in the treatment of UC. We describe a case of severe refractory pan-enteritis after colectomy for UC that was successfully treated with oral tacrolimus after failing intravenous corticosteroid treatment. Tacrolimus may be a safe and effective treatment modality for diffuse enteritis after colectomy in UC patients.
