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

backgroundCyclic vomiting syndrome (CVS) and its effect on nutritional status has not been well described.

aimTo describe the clinical characteristics, treatment and outcomes of children with CVS in Singapore.

methodsRetrospective cohort study of pediatric patients aged 1 to 18 years old with CVS diagnosed at KK Women's and Children's Hospital in Singapore from 2011 to 2021.

resultsThirty-two children (69% female) with CVS were included in the study, with mean age of onset of symptoms at 7 (± 4) years and mean follow up duration of 5 years. Forty percent (12/32) of patients were underweight at diagnosis with no other identifiable organic cause, with a median body mass index (BMI)

conclusionProphylactic treatment is effective in improving nutritional status as well as reducing symptom frequency and should be considered for patients with complications such as growth failure and significant hypertension.
