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

Background: Norovirus gastroenteritis is commonly an acute infection that lasts 2-3 days, but in immunocompromised patients norovirus can cause a chronic gastroenteritis lasting for years. Norovirus replicates in the gastrointestinal tract, but the pathway of viral clearance is not yet known. Promising results of enterally administered immunoglobulin in the treatment of chronic norovirus gastroenteritis in immunocompromised patients have previously been published. Case presentation: We report two individuals with common variable immunodeficiency and chronic debilitating norovirus gastroenteritis. Both patients were treated with enterally administered immunoglobulin via a duodenal feeding tube as other treatment modalities have been unsuccessful. The patients did not experience any immediate or long-term benefit of enterally administered immunoglobulin. Conclusion: Despite previous case reports of successful treatment of chronic norovirus infection among immunocompromised patients with enterally administered immunoglobulin, these two patients experienced no benefit of the treatment. This demonstrates the need for further research in treatment of chronic norovirus infection in immunocompromised patients.
