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

backgroundProtein-losing enteropathy (PLE) is a rare condition featured by severe loss of proteins through the gastrointestinal tract. Rare PLE cases complicated with congenital kidney stones have been reported. This case study aimed to illustrate our experiences on the diagnosis and treatment of PLE and congenital kidney stones in a neonate. CASE PRESENTATION: A 10-day-old boy fed on breast milk presented to our department because of severe diarrhea, which showed no significant attenuation after free amino acid milk formula. Gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed absence of brush border of surface villi. Genetic testing was strongly recommended given intractable early-onset diarrhea, severe malnutrition and hypoalbuminemia. Then the patient was diagnosed with PLE based on the clinical manifestations and identification of DGAT1 gene by whole-exome sequencing. The patient underwent percutaneous suprapubic cystostomy to remove the urine, and ultrasonography examination showed kidney stones.

conclusionsWe reported a rare newborn with PLE and congenital kidney stones carrying DGAT1 mutations.
