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

IBD consists of two diseases-CD and UC-that affect the digestive tract, with a greater affinity for the large bowel. In this case report, we focus on one of its most common complications. CDI is a pathology that is mostly secondary to UC. Another cause of this bacterial infection is established after the use of antibiotics, most commonly at the hospital level. Around 20 percent of CDI persists because of a chronic dysbiosis of the microbiota and low levels of antibodies against CD toxins. In this case report, we demonstrated mdCDI in a young woman after treatment with multiple drug therapies as well as with semi-invasive procedures as follows: antibiotics (vancomycin, fidaxomicin), anti-inflammatory agents (mesalamine, sulfasalazine), corticosteroids (budesonide, prednisone), integrin receptor antagonists (vedolizumab), several semi-invasive procedures such as fecal transplant microbiota (FMT), aminosalicylates (5-ASA), treatment with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers (adalimumab, golimumab), and immunomodulators (upadcitinib, tofacitinib). This leads us to establish how rCDI and its resistance to different treatments make this a challenge for the health system, both for hospitals and for outpatients, as well as how time-consuming each treatment is from the first intake of the drug until its total efficacy or until patients reach a dose-response and time-response to the disease. Accordingly, this case report and other similar cases reflect the need for randomized control trials or meta-analyses to establish therapeutic guidelines for cases of mdCDI in the near future.
