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

Chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIIP) caused by impaired intestinal peristalsis leads to intestinal obstructive symptoms. A 20-year-old man had marked esophageal dilatation that was found incidentally on chest radiography during a health examination. Chest/abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography and endoscopy showed marked esophageal and duodenal dilatation without mechanical obstruction. Upper gastrointestinal series and high-resolution esophageal manometry revealed absent peristalsis in the dilated part. CIIP was suspected in the patient's father, suggesting familial CIIP. The patient likely had signs of pre-onset CIIP. This is the first case of suspected CIIP in which detailed gastrointestinal tract examinations were performed before symptoms appeared.
