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 71-year-old lady presented with a 4-week-history of epigastric pain, feculent vomiting, diarrhoea and weight-loss. On subsequent investigations, she was found to have a complex gastro-cholecysto-colic fistula with no clear underlying aetiology. The only abnormality both macroscopically and microscopically was ulceration and inflammation in the colon. However, this was not pathognomonic of inflammatory bowel disease, and (gastric) acid-induced inflammation is an alternative explanation. Herein we present her case, her comprehensive evaluation, her successful surgical management and a review of the relevant literature.
