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

Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an angioproliferative neoplasm associated with human herpesvirus-8. Gastrointestinal KS has been well documented in immunosuppressed solid organ transplant patients, with only 26 iatrogenic cases published in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We report a 24-year-old patient with ulcerative colitis, maintained on cyclosporine for 2 years, who presented with watery, nonbloody diarrhea and weight loss. Colonoscopy revealed human herpesvirus-8-positive hemorrhagic nodules throughout the colon and terminal ileum, with diffuse lymphadenopathy on computed tomography consistent with KS. As gastrointestinal KS may present with symptoms that mimic inflammatory bowel disease, it is critical to maintain suspicion in patients on prolonged immunosuppression to reduce complications.
