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

backgroundCollagenous sprue is a serious intestinal malabsorption disorder characterized by dull and flattened intestinal villi with subepithelial collagen deposition. At present, fewer than 100 cases have been reported in the literature. Owing to the rarity of this disease, clinicians and pathologists have insufficient understanding of it. CASE SUMMARY: The authors present a case of a 34-year-old female patient who presented with severe watery diarrhea with significant weight loss. She also experienced blurred binocular vision. The intestinal lesions were located mainly in the small intestine, which presented flat and dull intestinal villi with subepithelial collagen deposition. Masson staining was positive. Glucocorticoids were effective for this patient, but there seemed to be glucocorticoid dependence.

conclusionCollagenous stomatitis diarrhea is a rare intestinal malabsorption disease that needs to be diagnosed in combination with special clinical manifestations and unique histological features.
