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

Continuous intrajejunal infusion of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) is an established device-aided therapy for advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Phytobezoar associated with LCIG is a rare device-related complication and presents with exacerbations of gastrointestinal and PD symptoms. We herein report the case of a phytobezoar that was formed at a knot on the pigtail-shaped J-tube and developed only in association with postprandial abdominal pain, similar to a feeling of a tube being pulled in without an exacerbation of PD symptoms. Such abdominal pain may be a warning sign of phytobezoar in LCIG-treated patients. Despite device-related complications, high-pressure alarms are not always present, and PD symptoms are not always exacerbated.
