Three case reports of collagenous gastritis in children: Lessons for an endoscopic and histologic approach to mucosal nodularity of the stomach.

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
rationaleCollagenous gastritis (CG) is a rare form of chronic gastritis defined histologically by a thickened subepithelial collageneous band in the lamina propria. However, the clinical features and endoscopic findings of CG have not been clearly established in the pediatric population. PRESENTING CONCERNS: We report the cases of 3 children who presented with intractable anemia and minimal or no gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and were followed up without definitive diagnosis determination even through diagnostic endoscopic evaluations. DIAGNOSES: On repeated endoscopic examination, we determined thickened subepithelial collagen band, confirmed by Masson trichrome staining using targeted biopsies of the intervening mucosa between the prominent nodular lesions.
interventionsUnder the diagnosis of CG, a course of steroid was administrated in 1 patient, while all patients continued oral iron replacement therapy. OUTCOMES: All 3 patients remained asymptomatic and their anemia was alleviated with continued administration of oral iron. MAIN LESSONS: We recommend early endoscopic evaluation for patients with unexplained anemia, emphasizing a high index of suspicion for CG, despite the absence of definitive GI symptoms. Targeted gastric biopsies should be performed in the depressed mucosa surrounding the nodules, as well as the nodules themselves, to confirm CG, when presented with nodular gastric mucosa in endoscopy.
