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

A 16-year-old female presenting with acute left-sided abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting associated with a 20-lb weight loss. She was found to have positive chlamydia polymerase chain reaction upon admission. She underwent endoscopy and colonoscopy, with pathology revealing marked inflammation, complete villous blunting with absence of goblet and Paneth cells, with increased crypt apoptosis of the proximal duodenum through terminal ileum, concerning for autoimmune enteropathy. Anti-enterocyte autoantibodies were positive. She was treated with 14 days of doxycycline for her chlamydia infection and had symptomatic improvement without immunomodulatory therapies. Repeat endoscopy 6 months after completion of antimicrobials showed histologic improvement, with the presence of some goblet and Paneth cells, and only mild villous blunting. Together, her histology and clinical response suggest that she exhibited an autoimmune-like enteropathy, though the resolution of her symptoms without steroids suggests this was not a true autoimmune process.
