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

backgroundGastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, which has several clinical manifestation and origins, is known as one of the most life-threatening events in children. Several etiologies have been suggested for GI bleeding.

objectiveTo determine the most important causes of GI bleeding in children referred to Ghaem Hospital and Dr. Sheikh Hospital, Mashhad, Iran.

methodsIn this cross-sectional study, after obtaining written informed consent of their parents, 113 patients aging from newborn infants to 18-year-old children with GI bleeding admitted to Ghaem Hospital and Dr. Sheikh hospital were enrolled in this study from June 2012 to June 2014. After performing routine diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, a checklist containing all necessary information including demographic data, clinical history of patients, endoscopy and pathology findings, clinical and preclinical information were collected. The data were then analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16.

resultsOf a total 113 study children, 61 (54%) were male and 52 (46%) were female. The results of this study showed that the most important causes of bleeding in upper GI among all admitted patients were prolapse gastropathy (18.6%), esophagitis (15.9%) and esophageal varices, gastritis, and coagulopathy (7.1% for each). The main causes of lower GI bleeding were polyp (32.5%), chronic nonspecific colitis (20.7%), and proctitis (18.2%).

conclusionFindings of this study indicated that prolapse gastropathy and esophagitis are more prevalent causes of upper GI bleeding. Furthermore, esophageal varices were more common in children older than 13 years. Polyp, chronic nonspecific colitis and proctitis are the most prevalent causes of lower GI bleeding.
