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
The aim of this study was to compare the discriminatory power of a generic and a condition-specific quality of life measure (the Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36 (SF-36) and the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ)) with respect to sub-groups defined by disease-related and other factors, in a sample of patients with ulcerative colitis. Disease activity was generally more highly correlated with IBDQ scores than with SF-36 scores. The only significant differences with respect to disease extent were in the SF-36 energy/vitality and social function domains. Age was negatively and weakly to moderately correlated with the physical domains of the SF-36 but positively though weakly correlated with scores on the IBDQ emotional domain and those domains of the SF-36 related to mental well-being. Co-existing chronic illness, even on controlling for age, was associated with significantly poorer scores on the generic measure, but had little influence on IBDQ scores. In conclusion, generic and disease-specific measures of quality of life appear to be complementary rather than interchangeable. We recommend the use of both types of measure in parallel.
