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

Autoimmune gastritis is an inflammatory condition of the gastric mucosa. We report a 64-year-old woman with chronic abdominal pain of 3-year duration. Endoscopic and histologic evaluation revealed autoimmune pangastritis. The gastritis was partially responsive to steroids but attempts to taper failed, and the patient had no relief from mercaptopurine, adalimumab, budesonide, or hydroxychloroquine. The patient was treated with mycophenolate mofetil which resulted in resolution of symptoms. Endoscopic and histologic examination after mycophenolate therapy showed near complete resolution of active inflammation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of symptomatic autoimmune gastritis successfully treated by mycophenolate mofetil.
