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

Immunosuppressants are used to prevent rejection in transplant patients. Many of these medications commonly cause gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. We present a 38-year-old kidney and pancreas transplant recipient who had severe ulceration throughout his GI tract leading to perforations of his stomach and cecum, despite early discontinuation of mycophenolate mofetil-the most likely culprit medication. The ongoing injury observed despite holding mycophenolate suggests a possible compounding effect of tacrolimus and everolimus. Both these agents are underrepresented causes of GI injury. This perfect storm of agents may have accounted for the severity and extensive presentation observed in our patient.
