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

backgroundNeutropenic enterocolitis (NE), or typhlitis, a condition typically associated with severe neutropenia in the setting of chemotherapy, is highly morbid (50-100%) and benefits from early diagnosis. It has been associated with neutropenia in the setting of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) but has not been described in a patient with HIV who was not neutropenic on presentation. We present the case of a patient with HIV who was not neutropenic on presentation but found to have NE. CASE PRESENTATION: A 27-year-old male with a history of HIV on antiretroviral therapy and epilepsy presented with concern for breakthrough seizure. The patient revealed he was having non-bloody, non-bilious emesis and diarrhea for 3 days. Initial labs were white blood cell count 3.9 × 10

conclusionsNeutropenic enterocolitis, typically presenting with fever, abdominal pain, and hematochezia, can be difficult to identify, particularly in patients without a history of malignancy. However, it should be considered in patients with HIV presenting with these symptoms, even with a normal ANC and CD4 count above 200 cells/mm
