A Rare Case of Idiopathic Rapid Gastric Emptying.

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
Idiopathic rapid gastric emptying (IRGE), also called idiopathic dumping syndrome, is a rare gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorder marked by an abnormally accelerated gastric emptying with no history of gastric surgery, diabetes mellitus, or other structural anomalies of the stomach or small intestine. This disorder has a similar presentation to classic dumping syndrome. Yet, it happens in patients with an intact stomach and pylorus, with no evidence of previous gastric surgeries. Due to its similarity with other endocrine hypoglycemic syndromes and functional GI disorders, IRGE remains misdiagnosed and/or underreported. Thus, it is a significant diagnostic challenge for physicians. We present a case of a 21-year-old female with a chronic history of postprandial diarrhea, carbohydrate intolerance, and symptomatic postprandial hypoglycemia. She had no history of prior gastric surgery, and her investigations, including endoscopy and radiology, demonstrated normal findings. Gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES) revealed 100% gastric emptying at 60 minutes (retained meal value of less than 70% at 30 minutes or less than 30% at 1 hour is indicative of rapid gastric emptying). Based on these findings and after exclusion of other differential diagnoses, a diagnosis of IRGE was established. This case highlights the importance of identifying IRGE as a distinct clinical entity that causes postprandial hypoglycemia and GI symptoms. Early recognition can help in timely diagnosis and targeted therapy.
