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

Duodenocolic fistula (DCF) is a rare disorder defined by the presence of an internal fistula between the duodenum and colon. Colon cancer, Crohn's disease, diverticulum and duodenal ulcer are common causes of DCF, and vomiting and diarrhea are its main symptoms. We report a 14-year-old boy with DCF who had been treated for a functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID). The boy had often experienced episodes of vomiting and diarrhea since infancy, and had been diagnosed with FGID. He was referred to our hospital because of a 2-month exacerbation of persistent vomiting and diarrhea. Upper gastrointestinal contrast revealed no abnormalities. Eventually, esophagogastroduodenoscopy detected a duodenal fistula, and DCF was diagnosed by endoscopic fistulography. Colonoscopy showed a diverticulum in the ascending colon near the fistula. In addition, a C
