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

Patients with Crohn's disease are at higher risk of opportunistic infection, especially if treated with immunosuppressive therapy. Cytomegalovirus has been reported to cause ulcerated lesions mainly in the lower gastrointestinal tract of inflammatory bowel disease patients. We herein report a rare case of Crohn's disease complicated with cytomegalovirus esophagitis, which was difficult to distinguish from exacerbation of Crohn's disease. Diagnostic values of clinical course, blood tests, endoscopic and histological examinations are limited but the present case was therapeutically diagnosed by antiviral therapy in combination with histological evidence of cytomegalovirus.
