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

We describe a case of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) with sigmoid colon stricture. The patient, a woman in her 30 s, had a 12-year history of ileocolitis-type Crohn's disease. The colonoscope could not pass because of the sigmoid colon stricture, and the patient was referred to our hospital with complaints of abdominal pain and fever. At 2-month postreferral, the patient presented with severe abdominal pain and fever. Computed tomography and intestinal ultrasonography revealed no bowel obstruction, whereas wall thickening was observed in the sigmoid colon and small bowel. Our medical interview revealed a cyclical nature to the symptoms. We diagnosed FMF and initiated colchicine. Subsequently, for more than 2 years, the patient remained asymptomatic, and the sigmoid colon stricture improved. FMF should be considered in patients with inflammatory bowel disease with periodic abdominal pain and fever.
