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

This report relates to two female children (identical twins) aged 13 years, one of whom presented with dysphagia, vomiting, nasal regurgitation, and weight loss. The other twin, in history, also had similar symptoms. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, barium swallow, and esophageal manometry suggested type I achalasia in the former; the other had type II achalasia cardia. Both gave a history of hyperpigmentation of knuckles, under eyes and elbows. Serum cortisol levels were low, with elevated ACTH levels in one, while the other had preserved adrenal function. Their mother gave a history that neither had shed tears since birth (Positive Schirmer’s test). Both successfully underwent peroral endoscopic myotomy and had good improvement in symptoms. At three months, both developed gastroesophageal reflux which needed antireflux mucosectomy in one and the other responded to medical therapy. This is a rare case of Allgrove syndrome with multisystem disease, and early recognition is vital to improving survival rates.
