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

backgroundIntestinal neuronal dysplasia type B is an entity characterized by disturbances in the enteric plexus, it most often occurs in childhood and can appear as an isolated disease or in combination with other neuropathies. The main symptoms are chronic constipation and intestinal obstruction. CASE PRESENTATION: This paper presents the diagnostic work-up of a 40-year-old patient who was referred to a tertiary center due to refractory chronic constipation. A diagnosis of intestinal neuronal dysplasia type B was made after a surgical procedure based on pathohistological findings. DISCUSSION: In a further multi-year follow-up, the patient was symptom-free with regular bowel movements, with a significant quality of life improvement.

conclusionThis confirmed that the chosen type of surgical procedure was appropriate.
