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

An 80-year old man with myelofibrosis and chronic renal disease was admitted to our hospital because of severe anemia and gastrointestinal bleeding. Although no bleeding was observed by upper or lower endoscopy, contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed an enhanced area in the small intestinal wall that was suspected of being the bleeding site, and was confirmed by double-balloon endoscopy. Based on endoscopic findings, it was difficult to differentiate between variceal rupture and collapse of a submucosal tumor. We performed segmental resection of the small intestine to make a definitive diagnosis and achieve reliable hemostasis. The gross findings confirmed a variceal rupture from the small intestine. His gastrointestinal bleeding stopped and his anemia improved following surgery. Although some cases of portal hypertension in association with myelofibrosis have been reported, we are aware of no prior reports of variceal rupture in the small intestine. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of ectopic jejunal varices in a patient with myelofibrosis.
