Lupus intestinal pseudo-obstruction and hydronephrosis: Case report.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionIntestinal pseudo-obstruction (IPO) is a rare and life-threatening complication of lupus. PATIENT CONCERNS: A patient with long-standing lupus developed recurrent abdominal pain and distension as well as nausea and emesis. DIAGNOSIS: Imaging showed dilated small bowel loops with air-fluid levels and bowel wall thickening. She also had bilateral hydronephrosis.
interventionsShe was given high-doses of intravenous steroids and cyclophosphamide. OUTCOMES: Her symptoms resolved within a week of starting immunosuppression. She was eventually transitioned to mycophenolate mofetil. She remained in remission and immunosuppression was successfully stopped after 1 year.
conclusionsIntestinal pseudo-obstruction is a rare complication of lupus that is often seen in association with ureterohydronephrosis and interstitial cystitis. This clinical syndrome is thought to be because of smooth muscle dysmotility of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts, although the exact mechanism of dysmotility remains unknown. This condition is often responsive to immunosuppression if recognized and treated promptly.
