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

Advancements in the medical treatment of Crohn's disease have reduced the need for surgery. The indications for surgery include the failure of medical management, especially the persistence or worsening of symptoms in spite of proper treatment and complications of the disease process. These complications include intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation with fistula formation or abscess, free perforation, gastrointestinal bleeding, urologic complications, cancer, and perianal disease. In these cases, operative therapy should be directed to the specific indication for surgery, resecting only the segment of bowel involved in the complicating process while preserving as much bowel length as possible in order to prevent short-bowel syndrome. Laparoscopic surgery has been gaining acceptance as an alternative surgical approach for properly selected patients with Crohn's disease. In conclusion, identifying the need for surgery and determining the timing of operation are the cornerstones to successful surgical management of patients with Crohn's disease.
