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

A woman in her 20s presented with haematemesis, post-prandial abdominal pain, weight loss and anaemia. Imaging revealed a non-enhancing mass in the retroperitoneal space along the mesenteric plane, encasing the porto-mesenteric vasculature. Endoscopy showed oesophageal varices. She was diagnosed with sclerosing mesenteritis, causing extrinsic compression of the portal vein and superior mesenteric artery. She underwent endoscopic variceal ligation and received prednisolone and tamoxifen. After 3 months, her post-prandial pain improved, and she did not have further bleeding episodes.
