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

Objective: Inflammatory reactions caused by immunosuppression appear a particular interesting disease due to its very specific and partly unclear etiopathogenesis.Based on clinical case-specific management experiences and selective references from the literature, the rare case of an acute intraabdominal inflammation as unusual complication or side effect (at the gastrointestinal [GI] tract) of the ongoing immunosuppressive medication using Mycophenolate mofetil and Tacrolimus after previous liver transplantation is to be illustrated. Case presentation: Conclusions: The described case i) is either one of the many side effects of the immunosuppressive medication Mycophenolate mofetil and Tacrolimus listed as "colonic inflammation" and "gastrointestinal inflammation", respectively, or ii) can be considered an inflammatory response of a susceptible (gastro-)intestinal mucosa or the whole intestinal wall to microbes or microbial particles or agents caused by transplantation-associated immunosuppressive medication.
