Graft-versus-host disease complicated with small bowel obstruction in children: A case report.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) is a severe complication following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The clinical manifestations of GvHD can affect multiple systems. Although gastrointestinal (GI) GvHD is common, GI obstruction complications are rare. Here, we present a case of GI-GvHD after HCT for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in a young girl from China. The patient suffered from watery diarrhea, which progressed to bloody diarrhea 40 days after HCT. She experienced prolonged and repeated mucous or bloody stool after the withdrawal of cyclosporine and the gradual reduction in methylprednisolone. The plain abdominal radiography and computed tomographic (CT) scan showed apparent bowel wall thickening and intestinal stenosis 10 months after HCT. Finally, the patient underwent surgery to remove the small intestinal stenosis at the age of 26 months. The patient recovered with the help of appropriate medical therapies and nutritional support during hospitalization. She remained stable, and there was no recurrence of GI symptoms 16 months after the surgery. In summary, surgery may be an optimal treatment for GvHD patients with persistent bowel obstruction and failure of appropriate immunosuppressive therapies.
