Complex visceral hyperalgesia in an adolescent with Pitt-Hopkins syndrome.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2024. 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
An early-adolescent boy with a background of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome was transferred to a tertiary paediatric hospital with symptoms of a functional large bowel obstruction. He required extensive surgical intervention including a transverse colectomy, drainage of an abdominal abscess, laparotomy and adhesionolysis, and insertion of a gastrostomy and jejunostomy. He had significant ongoing issues with visceral hyperalgesia that was refractory to a wide range of pharmacological treatments and required admission to the intensive care unit on multiple occasions, and consultations with international experts in Pitt-Hopkins syndrome and pain specialists. An individualised pain plan was created and adjusted over time, with eventual good effect, and he was transferred back to his regional hospital and subsequently discharged home.
