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

TAFRO syndrome, a rare systemic inflammatory disorder, commonly develops in an acute or subacute manner, with an aggressive clinical behavior. A substantial number of cases of TAFRO syndrome presenting with abdominal pain, and adrenal abnormalities on imaging have also been reported. A 54-year-old man developed severe acute abdominal pain. Bilateral adrenal swelling was detected on computed tomography. Although the abdominal pain resolved spontaneously, a fever and anasarca were observed. The patient was eventually diagnosed with TAFRO syndrome, and corticosteroid administration resulted in remission. TAFRO syndrome should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen and adrenal abnormalities.
