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

backgroundEosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases are the rare gastrointestinal disorders. To our knowledge, there have been no reports of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases with overall gastrointestinal tract involvement causing liver abscess in an older patient. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 68-year-old man with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease with overall gastrointestinal tract involvement. He was admitted with suspected acute gastroenteritis, and histological examination showed eosinophilic infiltration accompanied by liver abscess. The collected pus was tested for Metagenomics Next-Generation Sequencing and confirmed the presence of Klebsiella pneumoniae.

conclusionsWe conducted a literature review on the complications of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases and discussed how eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases lead to liver abscess caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae.
