Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Surgical intervention is often required for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Total proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the surgical treatment of choice for patients with ulcerative colitis. The main long-term complication of this surgery is pouchitis, with 10-year cumulative incidence rates between 24% and 46%. For patients with Crohn's disease, postoperative recurrence is a significant problem, with clinical recurrence rates as high as 55% at 5 years and 76% at 15 years. Increasing evidence suggests that postoperative medical therapy has the potential to decrease the risk of postoperative Crohn's disease recurrence.
