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

Gastrointestinal tuberculosis manifesting as isolated duodenal involvement is uncommon. We present a case of 52 years old man with post-prandial abdominal pain, early satiety and weight loss. Upper endoscopy showed circumferential duodenal stricture adjacent to the ampulla with nodularity, erythema, and ulcerations of the overlying mucosa causing gastric outlet obstruction. Biopsy of duodenal stricture revealed chronic duodenitis and the patient was treated with acid suppression therapy. Endoscopic balloon dilation was also performed with no response. Abdominal computer tomography scan showed multiple enlarged abdominal lymph nodes and subsequent duodenal tissue culture was positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. His symptoms and duodenal stricture resolved completely after treatment with anti-tuberculous regimen.
