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

backgroundShwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple organs, primarily the liver. Most patients are diagnosed during infancy or early childhood. As they grow older, the majority of affected children may experience spontaneous remission, and cases of cirrhosis in adults are rarely reported. CASE SUMMARY: A 36-year-old male patient presented with massive ascites. Laboratory tests revealed pancytopenia and a serum-ascites albumin gradient greater than 1.1 g/dL. An abdominal computed tomography scan demonstrated cirrhosis, splenomegaly, pancreatic fat infiltration, and a substantial accumulation of peritoneal fluid. Gastroscopy identified esophageal varices. Liver stiffness measurement indicated a value of 32.7 kPa. Based on the results of auxiliary examinations, common causes of cirrhosis were excluded, and a mutation in the

conclusionPatients with liver cirrhosis who also exhibit pancreatic fat infiltration and pancytopenia necessitate further exon testing to exclude the possibility of SDS.
