A Rare Case of Autoimmune Enteropathy After Thymectomy.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Autoimmune enteropathy (AIE) is a rare cause of chronic diarrhea associated with autoantibodies and susceptibility to other autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and atopic dermatitis. While it is more common in children, the prevalence of AIE in adults is increasing. Due to the nonspecific nature of its presenting symptoms and the lack of consistent findings, AIE can be challenging to diagnose. Here, we present a 66-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department with diarrhea and recurrent bilateral pleural effusions two months after thymoma resection and was eventually diagnosed with AIE. The evaluation revealed blunting of small intestinal villi on biopsy, an IgG staining pattern indicative of circulating anti-enterocyte antibodies, as well as the presence of serum anti-enterocyte and anti-goblet cell antibodies, establishing the diagnosis of AIE.
