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 enteropathy is a rare cause of malabsorption usually associated with circulating autoantibodies and predisposition to autoimmune disorders. The diagnosis is based on the following criteria: chronic diarrhea (>6 months), malabsorption, specific histological findings, anti-enterocyte and anti-goblet cell antibodies, and exclusion of similar disorders. We report a case of a 73-year-old woman presenting with severe chronic diarrhea, weight loss, and electrolyte abnormalities. Endoscopy revealed duodenal villous atrophy extending to proximal jejunum, and duodenal biopsies revealed villous blunting, cryptitis with apoptosis, and scattered intraepithelial lymphocytes. Therapeutic management included immunosuppressive treatment with corticosteroids, achieving clinical remission.
