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

We report a 19-year-old male with congenital, combined deficiency of immunoglobulin (Ig) E and 2/4 subclasses of IgG (G1, G3) and chronic diarrhea. He presented at six years of age with chronic recurrent diarrhea responsive to immunoglobulin treatment. Initially, it was considered of infectious origin. However, at the age of 14 years, ileocolonoscopy and magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) were performed, and they showed a mild, limited, non-specific, terminal ileitis with increased eosinophil count on histology. A diagnosis of possible eosinophilic gastroenteritis was made, and budesonide was administered with temporary relief. However, at the age of 19 years, repeat ileocolonoscopy showed multiple ulcers in the terminal ileum and aphthous ulcers in the cecum, and repeat MRE demonstrated extensive ileal involvement. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy demonstrated the involvement of the upper GI tract with aphthous ulcers. Subsequently, gastric, ileal, and colonic biopsies revealed Ziehl-Neelsen-negative, non-caseating granulomas. We hereby report the first case of IgE and selective IgG1 and IgG3 deficiency complicated with Crohn's disease-like extensive GI involvement.
