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

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is the general term used for a heterogeneous group of intestinal disorders, including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Serological markers such as anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA) and atypical perinuclear antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (atypical pANCA) have proven useful in the diagnosis and differentiation of CD and UC. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibody directed against the outer membrane protein C (OmpC) of Escherichia coli is said by one group to have clinical utility in diagnosing IBD, specifically in ASCA-negative CD patients. Our objective in this study was to compare the results obtained from two separate laboratories offering similar IBD tests using sera from suspected IBD patients. One hundred ninety-seven sera received for IBD testing were included in the study. The agreement between the two laboratories was 93.4% for ASCA IgA, 90.9% for ASCA IgG, and 87.8% for atypical pANCA IgG. There were 25 sera with ASCA-negative/OmpC-positive results reported by one laboratory. Thirteen of these 25 (52.0%) ASCA-negative/OmpC-positive sera were also atypical pANCA positive (9 as determined by both laboratories, 3 by one, and 1 by the other). Atypical pANCA antibody is found primarily in IBD patients with UC and colon-limited CD (Crohn's colitis). We conclude that the ASCA and atypical pANCA assays showed good agreement between the two laboratories, but the data for ASCA-negative/OmpC-positive sera suggest that many (52.0%) of these patients were more likely to have had UC or Crohn's colitis based on the presence of an atypical pANCA.
