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

COVID-19 infection is associated with multi-system complications other than primary pulmonary disease. It is well-documented that it causes an inflammatory response, which in severe cases can lead to pathologies in other organ systems. Gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations are common and includes anorexia, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. An uncommon GI manifestation in COVID-19 infection is GI bleeding (GIB). Angioectasia is one of the rare causes of GIB, not very common, reasonably straightforward to diagnose, but difficult to treat, with no consensus in the literature on the most effective treatment modalities and no standardised approaches to management. In this paper, we present an unusual case of GIB following a severe COVID-19 infection, discussing the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Written and informed consent to publish was obtained from the patient.
