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

Autoimmune gastritis is immune-mediated gastritis that destroys the oxyntic mucosa. Autoimmune hepatitis is an inflammatory liver disease caused by an autoimmune reaction. These diseases share similar pathogeneses as organ-specific autoimmune disorders; however, cases involving both diseases are quite rare and scarcely reported. Herein, we report a patient with concurrent autoimmune gastritis and hepatitis who developed enlargement of hyperplastic polyps and progression of gastric atrophy. The patient was a 79-year-old female referred to our hospital for the treatment of hyperplastic polyps detected on a follow-up upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The patient's previous upper gastrointestinal endoscopy from 3 years prior revealed small hyperplastic polyps and no mucosal atrophy. However, the current upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed three 10-mm red polyps, severe mucosal atrophy in the corpus, and mild atrophy in the antral area. In addition, biopsy samples from the gastric body revealed decreased parietal cells and diffuse lymphocytic infiltration of the deep mucosa. Further, chromogranin A-positive endocrine cell micronests and enterochromaffin-like cell hyperplasia were detected. After confirming the diagnosis of autoimmune gastritis, endoscopic mucosal resection was performed for all the polyps, which were histopathologically diagnosed as hyperplastic polyps without malignancy. Therefore, clinicians should consider autoimmune gastritis for enlarged hyperplastic polyps and gastric atrophy progression.
