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

backgroundShort bowel syndrome (SBS) is a rare yet costly disease with an incidence rate of 3 per million people. Herein, we report a rare case of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) with SBS after strangulated bowel obstruction. CASE PRESENTATION: A 5-year-old male had a necrotic intestine of 340 cm resected due to strangulated bowel obstruction caused by an intestinal mesenteric hiatal hernia. The length of the residual intestine was 51 cm. Bloody stools appeared 19 days postoperatively. Colonoscopy showed diffuse redness of the colonic mucosa, and pathological findings showed moderate chronic inflammatory cellular infiltration. On blood examination, the eosinophil count was > 30%. EGIDs with short bowel syndrome (SBS) were suspected. Because his symptoms did not improve with initial nutrition therapy, he was transferred to our hospital 5 months after the operation. Prednisolone was administrated at an initial dose of 1.4 mg/kg/day, 6 days after his transfer. Bloody stools disappeared after prednisolone administration. Seven months after discharge, he had no bloody stool recurrence.

conclusionThe risk of developing secondary EGIDs in children with SBS should be considered, and postoperative management should include attention to abdominal symptoms and elevated eosinophil counts on blood examination.
