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

This report describes a patient with early-stage autoimmune gastritis (AIG) presenting with a normal endoscopic appearance. A 66-year-old man with autoimmune thyroiditis was suspected of having AIG because of a previous history of vitamin B12 deficiency when receiving steroid therapy for interstitial pneumonia 5 years earlier. At presentation, he tested positive for anti-parietal cell antibody (1:320) and anti-intrinsic factor antibody, but not for vitamin B12 deficiency. His gastrin level was elevated (338 pg/mL), but his pepsinogen (PG) I level (56.1 ng/mL) and PGI/PGII ratio (7.6) were normal. Endoscopically, neither atrophic nor inflammatory changes were observed. Histopathologic examination, however, showed mild atrophic changes with dense lymphocytic infiltration in the deep lamina propria and focal destruction of parietal cells in the greater curvature of the corpus. PGI-positive/MUC6-positive pseudo-pyloric metaplasia was observed in the area from which H
