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

Trials of maintenance therapy in Crohn's disease are often underpowered, and there is need for objective markers of relapse. We assessed the relationship of whole gut lavage fluid cytokines to relapse in inactive Crohn's disease. Fifty-four patients with inactive Crohn's disease were prospectively assessed. Inactivity was determined as a Crohn's disease activity index of <150 and whole gut lavage fluid immunoglobulin G <10 microg/ml. All patients underwent whole gut lavage with analysis of IL-1beta and IL-8. Follow up was for one year. Patients with elevated whole gut lavage fluid IL-1beta (P < 0.004) and IL-8 (P < 0.02) had greater chance of relapse. Young age, short disease duration, and fistulating disease also relapsed more frequently. Multiple regression identified IL-1beta as an independent variable. In conclusion, an elevated whole gut lavage fluid IL-1beta in inactive Crohn's disease identifies patients at high risk of relapse.
