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/Aims: This study aims to assess whether specific symptoms from the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI) could predict delayed gastric emptying and to establish the prevalence of gastroparesis (GP). Methods: Diabetic patients were recruited from a multicenter cross-sectional cohort. Each participant underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy, symptom assessment by GCSI, and solid-meal gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES). GP was defined by GES data showing a T Results: Among 138 patients, those with delayed GES (21.01%) had a higher incidence of nephropathy (51.72% vs 22.02%, Conclusion: Diabetic patients exhibiting specific cardinal symptoms should be considered for GES evaluation, as the overall GCSI score independently predicts delayed gastric emptying. This study suggests that the GCSI may be useful as a screening tool rather than a diagnostic method for diabetic gastroparesis.
