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

Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is a rare disorder commonly diagnosed in later disease stages when it prominently manifests as malnutrition. We report on a female patient diagnosed with MNGIE at the age of 36. She was severely malnourished due to loss of resorptive surface after several surgical procedures, gastrointestinal dysmotility, and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Therefore, early and aggressive total parenteral nutrition was introduced. Although no reports have shown that nutritional support can modify the clinical outcome, this case suggests that adequate nutritional support, particularly parenteral nutrition, supervised by an experienced nutritional team, may prolong the lifespan of patients with MNGIE.
