Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome is a rare disease characterised by diffuse gastrointestinal polyposis, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, cutaneous and mucosal hyperpigmentation, alopecia, and onychodystrophy. Here we report a case of a 40-year-old female with Cronkhite-Canada Syndrome, who presented with the complaints of diffuse abdominal pain, blood mixed stools, and diarrhoea associated with tenesmus. She had nausea and reduced appetite and lost 10 kgs in 3 months. She had hair fall (alopecia), atrophic changes of nails (onychodystrophy), and hyperpigmentation of the skin in fingers, tongues, and lips. Histopathological biopsy of the gastric and colonic biopsy revealed polypoid edematous mucosa and the colonic biopsies showed scattered dilated glands with inflammatory exudate and mucin. She got Entamoeba histolytica and COVID-19. She received respective antibiotics and protein diets that helped relieve the symptoms. After 4 weeks of steroids, her symptoms improved drastically. Corticosteroids, treating co-infection along with nutritional counselling can be helpful to relieve the symptoms. Keywords: alopecia; case reports; cronkhite-canada syndrome; hyperpigmentation.
