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

Background: Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a systemic autoinflammatory disorder characterized by unpredictable multi-organ involvement. Although gastrointestinal complications are uncommon in AOSD, they can be life-threatening and present significant diagnostic and management challenges. Case Summary: We report the case of a 68-year-old man with AOSD who developed acute intestinal obstruction, a rare and critical complication. Imaging revealed significant colonic wall thickening, with a maximum thickness of 2.6 cm on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. The clinical status of the patient deteriorated, further complicated by the onset of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and multi-organ failure, including acute renal dysfunction. Despite receiving intensive care and aggressive treatment, including supportive measures and immunosuppressive therapy, the patient succumbed to his illness. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of recognizing rare gastrointestinal and systemic complications in patients with AOSD. Early identification and prompt multidisciplinary management of conditions such as HLH and acute intestinal obstruction are essential for improving outcomes in such critical scenarios.
