Deep Ulcers in the Ileum Associated with Mycophenolate Mofetil.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A 54-year-old man was treated with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) after undergoing living donor renal transplantation. Two years later, he experienced repeated episodes of diarrhea, and his C-reactive protein (CRP) level was found to be 12.63 mg/dL. Ileocolonoscopy showed multiple deep, punched-out ulcers that were similar to Behçet's disease (BD) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) in the ileum. CMV infection was suspected. However, anti-cytomegalovirus agents were ineffective. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with gastrointestinal toxicity of MMF and MMF was switched to mizoribine. His symptoms improved immediately, and his CRP level normalized. Six months later, the patient's mucosa was healed.
