An Atypical Presentation of Crohn's Disease: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease affecting any portion of the gastrointestinal tract, usually the terminal ileum and the colon, with clinical manifestations such as diarrhea, fever, and weight loss. Clinical presentation of CD may include complications such as enterovesical fistulas, abscesses, strictures, and perianal disease. CD also classically presents with "skipping lesions," unlike ulcerative colitis (UC), which presents with continuous lesions. It can manifest with a wide range of extra-intestinal symptoms such as pyoderma gangrenosum, aphthous stomatitis, episcleritis, uveitis, and arthritic disease. Such a wide range of presentations leads to diagnostic difficulties, as seen in this case. Treatment modalities include steroids, antibiotics, and surgical removal of affected parts, depending on the extent of the disease. Here, we present a case of a young male who presented with manifestations of mesenteric lymphadenitis and had an intraluminal cecal mass causing obstructive symptoms, and was subsequently diagnosed with CD.
