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

Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) is a rare nonhereditary disorder characterized by gastrointestinal polyps and protein-losing enteropathy. While an increasing number of CCS cases have been reported worldwide, no documented cases involving pregnant patients could be found. Consequently, optimal management strategies for CCS during the preconception period and pregnancy remain unclear., The present report concerns the case of a 36-year-old woman with steroid-refractory CCS stabilized with gastrointestinal surgeries and infliximab, an anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) agent, who became pregnant. Infliximab was continued throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Despite persistent hypoalbuminemia, sh delivered a healthy infant weighing 2518 g vaginally at 38 weeks and 2 days without CCS exacerbation. Both the patient and her infant experienced an uneventful postpartum course. This case suggests that maintaining disease control with anti-TNF-α therapy in pregnant patients with CCS may contribute to optimizing maternal and neonatal outcomes.
