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

aimThe aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical, endoscopic, histopathological, laboratory, and imaging findings of patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) presenting with dyspeptic symptoms. MATERIAL AND

methodsEndoscopy was performed in 28 patients with FMF undergoing colchicine therapy, who presented to our hospital between 2012 and 2014 with abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and dyspeptic complaints. Upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy was performed in all patients; 16 of these underwent colonoscopy. Demographic characteristics, clinical and laboratory data, genetic analysis, imaging data, and endoscopy and colonoscopy findings were evaluated in all patients.

resultsHistopathological analysis of biopsy specimens revealed gastrointestinal pathology in 21 (75%) patients. Upper endoscopy analysis revealed that 14 (50%) patients had antral gastritis (8

conclusionsIn this study, most patients with FMF presenting with dyspeptic complaints had gastrointestinal pathology. Furthermore, there was higher inflammatory bowel disease incidence in these patients.
