Sustained remission of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome after corticosteroid and mesalazine treatment: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundCronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) is a rare disease of unknown etiology. The optimal treatment for CCS remains unknown. Treatment with corticosteroids is considered the mainstay treatment because of its high efficacy, but the therapeutic strategy for steroid-resistant CCS is not yet established. CASE SUMMARY: This is the case of an 81-year-old woman who was diagnosed with CCS. Given her severe diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and hypoproteinemia, hormone therapy (40 mg/d) was administered, and the symptoms improved within 1 wk. After 3 mo, the patient had no obvious symptoms. The polyps were significantly reduced on review gastroscopy and colonoscopy, thus hormone reduction gradually began. The hormone level was maintained at 10 mg/d after 6 mo. Despite the age of the patient and the side effects of hormones, the patient had no obvious discomfort. However, hormone drugs were discontinued, and mesalazine was administered orally at 3 g/d. The patient's symptoms continued to improve after a follow-up of 5 years.
conclusionCorticosteroids and mesalazine are potential treatment options for CCS.
