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.

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.

Abstract

Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) is characterized by malabsorption and diarrhea that result in irreversible deficits in physical and intellectual growth. We sought to define the expression of transport and tight junction proteins by quantitative analysis of duodenal biopsies from patients with EED. Biopsies from Pakistani children with confirmed EED diagnoses were compared to those from age-matched North American healthy controls, patients with celiac disease, and patients with nonceliac disease with villous atrophy or intraepithelial lymphocytosis. Expression of brush border digestive and transport proteins and paracellular (tight junction) proteins was assessed by quantitative multiplex immunofluorescence microscopy. EED was characterized by partial villous atrophy and marked intraepithelial lymphocytosis. Epithelial proliferation and enteroendocrine, tuft, and Paneth cell numbers were unchanged, but there was significant goblet cell expansion in EED biopsies. Expression of proteins involved in nutrient and water absorption and that of the basolateral Cl
