Delayed diagnosis of abdominal Henoch-Schonlein purpura in children: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundFor children with abdominal Henoch-Schonlein purpura presenting abdominal pain as an initial symptom and severe clinical manifestations, but without purpura appearance on the skin, the diagnosis and treatment are relatively difficult. This study summarized the characteristics of this group of patients by literature review and provided additional references for further refinement of glucocorticoid therapy in this vasculitis. CASE SUMMARY: A 6-year-old girl presented mainly with repeated abdominal pain and had received short-term out-of-hospital treatment with hydrocortisone. On day 7 after onset, gastroscopy revealed chronic non-atrophic gastritis and erosive duodenitis without purpuric rash, and no obvious resolution of the abdominal pain was found after treatment against infection and for protection of gastric mucosa. On day 14 the inflammatory indices continued to rise and the pain was relieved after enhanced anti-infective therapy, but without complete resolution. On day 19, the patient presented with aggravated abdominal pain with purplish-red dots on the lower limbs, by which Henoch-Schonlein purpura was confirmed. After 5 d of sequential treatment with methylprednisolone and prednisone, abdominal pain disappeared and she was discharged.
conclusionHenoch-Schonlein purpura-related rash may appear after long-term abdominal pain, and should be distinguished from acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases at the early stage without typical rash. For bacterial infection-induced Henoch-Schonlein purpura, glucocorticoid therapy alone without clearing the infection may not relieve symptoms.
