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

backgroundA 23-year-old Caucasian female was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and symptoms were successfully managed with the 5-Rs (e.g. remove, replace, re-inoculate, repair, and rebalance) gut restoration program. CASE/

interventionDiagnostic laboratory testing was initially utilized which identified microbial imbalances, vitamin D deficiency, and vitamin B12 deficiency. Nutrition therapy was then implemented over a course of 7 months, which included a whole foods elimination diet that was low in fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs) and avoided leading allergens such as cow dairy, soy, gluten, and corn. Nutritional supplements were implemented in phases to aid in rebalancing gut bacteria, repair the mucosal lining, and correct nutritional deficiencies. After good dietary adherence and the 5-Rs program, the patient became 100% asymptomatic with no use of mesalamine suppositories for more than 6 weeks.

conclusionThis case report demonstrates the effectiveness of the 5-Rs program approach for the successful management of UC. Long-term resolution was supported by the elimination of specific foods, nutrition supplementation, and stress management.
