Developing a Clear and New Definition of Non-specific Abdominal Pain for the Identification of Rare Diseases.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Non-specific abdominal pain (NSAP) represents a diagnostic challenge that may include various rare diseases requiring early identification. If NSAP can be clearly defined, it may enable the early diagnosis of such rare diseases. This study aimed to develop a definition of NSAP based on the characteristics of diagnoses related to abdominal pain and on the backgrounds of undiagnosed patients in our previous study, as well as to provide recommendations. Data concerning patients with undiagnosed abdominal pain were analyzed to determine appropriate diagnostic criteria and timeframes for the NSAP definition. Based on this analysis, we propose the following definition of NSAP: "Abdominal pain that remains undiagnosed for ≥7 days after onset, despite undergoing abdominal computed tomography or ultrasonography, blood tests, and a general qualitative urine test. The abdominal pain may be persistent or intermittent and recur for ≥7 days. The duration and interval of intermittent pain are not considered." This proposed definition of NSAP may aid in identifying patients with rare diseases that cause abdominal pain.
