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

Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a rare cause of chronic gastric hemorrhaging and iron deficiency anemia and is characterized by a distinctive endoscopic appearance. The main treatment of GAVE is endoscopic; however, medication is necessary in refractory cases. We herein report a 69-year-old woman with systemic sclerosis (SSc) who developed recurrent severe anemia after endoscopic treatment of GAVE that was successfully managed using intravenous cyclophosphamide (IVCY). The recurrence of GAVE after discontinuation of IVCY was successfully managed using a combination of IVCY and endoscopic treatment, without blood transfusion. Long-term IVCY may be indicated for refractory GAVE associated with SSc.
