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

Adult intestinal toxemia botulism (ITB) is a rare illness that can be fatal if not recognized. ITB can occur when botulinum neurotoxin-producing clostridia colonize the intestine. Underlying intestinal abnormalities associated with dysbiosis are likely a prerequisite for colonization. Dysbiosis seems necessary for spore germination and neurotoxin production. Botulism neurotoxins are the most lethal poisons known and are classified into 7 serotypes: A through G. The clinical presentation consists of cranial nerve abnormalities and descending flaccid paralysis. Prompt recognition and treatment with botulism antitoxin and supportive measures is often successful, but delayed recognition can be fatal. In this study, we present a case of a 40-year-old woman with Crohn's disease who developed ITB. This is the first case in literature to report adult intestinal botulism from
