Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction in Systemic Sclerosis: An Uncommon Presentation.
Article in Case reports in gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is an uncommon disorder characterized by the presence of bowel dilatation and abnormal motility. It is an important cause of chronic intestinal failure in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Although intestinal pseudo-obstruction is an infrequent reason for hospitalization in these patients, it has been correlated with high in-hospital mortality compared to SSc patients hospitalized for other reasons as well as patients with intestinal pseudo-obstruction arising from other causes. Patients present with signs and symptoms of mechanical bowel obstruction, such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, and abdominal distension, in the absence of an anatomic lesion blocking the movement of intestinal contents. Despite breakthroughs in our understanding of this disorder, these patients continue to be treated largely with organ-based symptomatic therapy. Unfortunately, despite treatment, they often experience decreased quality of life and impairment in their everyday lives. Here, we present an interesting case of an individual with SSc for many years who presented with signs and symptoms of CIPO.
