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

Pyogenic granulomas (PG) are lobular capillary hemangiomas mostly found in the mucous membranes of the skin and oral cavity, and rarely occur in the gastrointestinal tract. Here we describe a case of an 84-year-old patient with alcoholic cirrhosis who presented with persistent melena and progressive anemia. Endoscopy showed esophageal varices and he underwent endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL) with transient resolution of anemia. However, due to worsening anemia, he underwent capsule endoscopy that revealed a bleeding tumor in the small intestine. We performed double-balloon endoscopy and found a 7-mm polyp with a white coat located in the jejunum and resected it at a later date. Histological characteristics led to the diagnosis of PG, and the patient's melena and anemia subsequently improved.
