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

Ischemic colitis is typically considered a disease of the elderly, given their atherosclerotic risk factors and other comorbidities. Ischemic colitis in the younger population is considered very uncommon. We present an interesting case of a young female presenting with abdominal pain and hematochezia found to have ischemic colitis on pathological biopsy results after a colonoscopy. She was an otherwise healthy female with no medical problems prior to her hospitalization but endorsed recent use of a bitter herbal tea to relieve her symptoms. Here, we review potential causes of ischemic colitis, including herbal remedies, which have been linked to causing hypercoagulable and hypotensive states.
