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

Pseudolipomatosis is a very rare benign pathologic condition of colorectal mucosa. It is caused by the presence of gas bubbles in the intestinal mucosa. The endoscopic and histologic aspects are misleading as they suggest adipocytic or vascular lesions. We present herein a case of rectal pseudolipomatosis in a 60-year-old woman presenting with rectal bleeding. The endoscopic pattern was not suggestive of the lesion, and the histopathologic analysis of the patient's rectal biopsies revealed characteristic features of pseudolipomatosis. Rectocolic pseudolipomatosis is a very rare benign condition with challenging clinicopathologic presentation. Clinicians and pathologists should be aware of this uncommon lesion for correct diagnosis and appropriate clinical management.
