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

The presence of rectal bleeding in the first months of life is very often diagnosed as food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP). The symptoms typically start in infancy, and most cases resolve by age 12 months. Infants with FPIAP usually present bloody stools mixed with mucus, with or without reduced stool consistency. Most affected infants are generally healthy-appearing. We used the story of an infant with rectal bleeding as a reminder that there is also the possibility of a form of benign non-allergic proctocolitis that is not usually included in the differential diagnosis. In the absence of warning signs and in case of infant well-being, it should be the first clinical entity to suspect. Therefore, we suggest we should wait at least 2 months before starting to eliminate cow milk or other foods from the diet.
