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

A 3-year-old boy with high-risk precursor-B ALL presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, and hypoalbuminemia just before his second scheduled course of high-dose methotrexate in interim maintenance. Examination was significant for epigastric tenderness and periorbital edema. Abdominal imaging revealed a circumferential thickening of the stomach with an increased mucosal enhancement and a mild circumferential thickening of segments of small bowel loops. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) of the patient, determined by PCR, in blood was positive with a low titer and was subsequently negative. Upper endoscopy revealed hypertrophic rugae and folds in the stomach and duodenum, and biopsy showed giant gastric folds and foveolar hyperplasia but was negative for CMV. He received supportive care and a 2-week course of ganciclovir and Cytogam with clinical improvement. We report a case of Menetrier's disease (Protein-losing gastropathy), which was diagnosed in a child with acute leukemia. Menetrier's disease should be considered in any patient with symptoms referable to the gastrointestinal tract and thickened stomach and bowel loops detected by radiologic imaging.
