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

A 59-year-old woman was referred to a specialist gastroenterologist following a year of intermittent abdominal bloating and worsening reflux. In the month prior to referral, the patient developed intermittent large volume vomiting consisting of bile-stained undigested food. This was accompanied by a 10 kg weight loss. Imaging and endoscopic investigations showed a circumferential thickening of the second part of the duodenum. Biopsy showed non-specific inflammatory changes with marked eosinophilic infiltrates. A pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. Histopathological analysis of the resection sample showed primary eosinophilic duodenitis with no evidence of malignancy. Immunological testing was only positive for coeliac disease and an infectious cause was never identified. The patient's symptoms resolved following the surgery and she was discharged from surgical follow-up after 8 years of no further symptoms.
