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 manifestations of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (GI-PTLD) encompasses a spectrum of mucosal inflammation and ulceration that can present as severe acute gastrointestinal bleed. This case report describes a case of GI-PTLD in a 19-year-old female status postcardiac transplant. This patient presented with extensive gastrointestinal hemorrhage secondary to PTLD involving the duodenum. The patient was treated with extensive embolization of the gastroduodenal artery and the pancreaticoduodenal arcades. Embolization was used to mitigate gastrointestinal bleeding, thus preventing the need for surgical resection and extensive reconstruction. This case report demonstrates the utility of embolization as potential therapeutic option in the setting of GI-PTLD in addition to medical and endoscopic therapy.
