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

Clostridium difficile (CD), a bacterium responsible for causing 15%-25% of all cases of infectious diarrhea, is most commonly associated with infection of the colon. Rarely, though with increasing frequency, it has been noted to infect the small intestine in what is referred to as CD enteritis. We present the case of a patient who was diagnosed and treated for CD enteritis, review the pathophysiology behind the infection, and discuss the diagnostic and treatment options available to healthcare professionals.
