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

Chronic olmesartan use can cause a drug-induced enteropathy as a rare side effect leading to diarrhea, significant weight loss, and reduced quality of life. The mechanism of this enteropathy is poorly understood and requires further investigation. We present a case of olmesartan-induced enteropathy resulting in recurrent hospitalizations for intractable diarrhea. Significant enteropathy is more commonly related to infectious or autoimmune causes making the diagnosis of drug-induced enteropathy a challenge. In this case, the lack of significant findings on labs or imaging resulted in a thorough diagnostic work-up revealing olmesartan-induced enteropathy. We present this case to inform providers of the possibility of olmesartan-induced enteropathy and characteristics to identify in other similar cases.
