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

Ménétrier's disease (MD) is a rare hypertrophic gastropathy marked by enlarged gastric folds, excessive mucus secretion, and protein-losing enteropathy. We present the case of a 25-year-old man initially hospitalized with severe chronic anemia, which revealed a rare and challenging form of MD. The patient reported persistent epigastric pain, vomiting, and recurrent hematemesis. Biological workup showed profound hypoalbuminemia (20 g/L) and microcytic anemia (Hb 5.8 g/dL, ferritin 3 ng/mL). Abdominal CT and upper endoscopy revealed massive polypoid thickening of the gastric fundus with cerebral-like folds and friable polypoid lesions. Histology confirmed foveolar hyperplasia with glandular atrophy, consistent with MD, in the absence of
