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

We report herein an unusual case of systemic lupus erythematosus in a 35-year-old woman who developed acute abdominal pain while hospitalized. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan with enhancement indicated long-segment inflammatory lesions in the right ureter. The patient received spasmolytic and analgesic drugs with poor effect and continued to have persistent severe abdominal pain and signs of peritonitis. We suspected that the patient had acute abdominal disease, but no abnormality was detected during laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, we considered the possibility of right upper urinary tract hydronephrosis; the patient's abdominal pain was relieved after double-J tube implantation. The patient's clinical symptoms improved after hormone and mycophenolate mofetil therapy for 1 year, and all laboratory indicators returned to normal. Reexamination by abdominal CT showed that the long-segment inflammatory lesions of the right ureter had resolved. Early identification and diagnosis are important for ureteritis associated with systemic lupus erythematosus.
