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.
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
introductionClassical-like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 1 (clEDS1) is a very rare form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome caused by tenascin-X deficiency, with only 56 individuals reported in medical literature. Tenascin-X is an extracellular matrix protein needed for collagen stability. Previous publications propose that individuals with clEDS1 might be at risk of gastrointestinal (GI) tract perforations and/or tracheal ruptures. The aim of this study was to characterize complications resulting from perforations of the GI tract and/or tracheal rupture in an international case series of individuals with clEDS1 due to disease-related tissue fragility.
methodsThis case series includes individuals with confirmed clEDS1 and GI perforations and/or tracheal ruptures from participating centers. Researchers who previously reported such individuals were contacted for additional information. A retrospective assessment of clinical features was performed.
resultsFifteen individuals were included. Ten had spontaneous GI perforations, 7 of whom had multiple GI perforations. Almost all had severe diverticulosis. Three individuals experienced iatrogenic tracheal ruptures. DISCUSSION: Severe GI complications, such as perforation, and tracheal rupture were observed in a substantial number of individuals with clEDS1. As these features seem significantly more common in clEDS1 than in the average population, we advise vigilance during intubation and GI endoscopic interventions of individuals with clEDS1. Routine referrals to clinical geneticists are recommended for patients with symptoms indicative of clEDS1, especially with unexplained GI perforations and connective tissue symptoms. Our findings offer valuable insights for the clinical management of clEDS1 and underscore the importance of specialized care, providing a foundation for improved clinical guidelines and preventive strategies.
