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

Intractable pruritus is a common, debilitating symptom and a well-defined entity occurring in chronic cholestatic disorders. Treatment options include cholestyramine, rifampicin, naltrexone, gabapentin, and sertraline, as well as more interventional measures, such as plasmapheresis, extracorporeal albumin dialysis, nasobiliary drains (NBDs), and UVB phototherapy in patients who fail to respond to medical therapy. Despite the limited data, NBD seems to be a highly effective treatment in the relief of refractory cholestatic pruritus. In this article, we present the case of a 73-year-old woman with primary biliary cholangitis and intractable pruritus, refractory to medical treatment. The patient had a complete resolution of her symptoms following an NBD placement, in which, with a novel approach, the nasal end was redirected and exited through a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy port, significantly improving her quality of life.
