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

Due to its rarity, cytomegalovirus (CMV) enteritis remains poorly described with regard to its endoscopic and radiological findings. A 75-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with abdominal pain and was treated with an antiviral agent for CMV enteritis. She was readmitted to our hospital 10 days after discharge due to a recurrence of abdominal pain. Emergency computed tomography revealed hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) and ileal dilatation involving focal stenosis of the ileum. The patient underwent laparoscopic partial resection of the small intestine and was finally diagnosed with ulcered stenosis of the small intestine after treatment for CMV enteritis. This report represents a valuable addition to the literature describing a rare case of ulcerated stenosis of the small intestine associated with HPVG after treatment for CMV enteritis.
