Diagnostic Complexity in Pediatric Chronic Colitis With Allergic, Infectious, Histamine-Related, and Oral-Phase Contributors: A Case Report With Long-Term Follow-Up.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Pediatric chronic colitis may present with overlapping gastrointestinal, allergic, dietary, and microbiome-related features, making early therapeutic decisions challenging, particularly when immunosuppression is being considered. This report describes an eight-year-old boy with chronic diarrhea and intermittent hematochezia beginning in early childhood, a history of cow's milk protein allergy, selective eating, poor mastication, inflammatory stool biomarkers, and colonoscopic findings consistent with mild chronic ileocolitis. Because the family declined systemic immunosuppression, a structured gut-focused approach was implemented over 18-24 months, including dietary elimination, reduction of dietary histamine burden, feeding therapy, digestive and diamine oxidase (DAO) support, microbiota modulation, and treatment of suspected enteric infections or overgrowth. Over time, the patient's stool normalized, bleeding resolved, inflammatory markers improved substantially, and repeat colonoscopy demonstrated mucosal healing. This case highlights the potential relevance of individualized, nonimmunosuppressive gastrointestinal strategies in selected pediatric patients with chronic Crohn-like colitis and allergic or histamine-related features, while recognizing that causality cannot be established from a single case.
