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

backgroundInflammatory complications of ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), including pouchitis and Crohn's disease (CD) of the pouch, are common in patients with restorative proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis. It is not clear whether these inflammatory conditions can affect upper GI tract. The aim of the study was to evaluate correlation between duodenal and pouch histology in patients with healthy and diseased pouches.

methodsAll IPAA patients who had esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy after colectomy (N = 96) were included. H&E slides of gastric, duodenal, neo-terminal ileum, and pouch body biopsies were blindly re-reviewed by an expert GI pathologist for acute and chronic inflammation. Demographic and clinical variables and pouch outcome were analyzed.

resultsThere was a significant correlation between acute inflammation in the duodenum as measured by neutrophil infiltration score and the presence of chronic pouchitis (kappa coefficient = 0.21, P < 0.05). Intraepithelial lymphocytosis of the duodenum, though uncommon, only occurred in patients with irritable pouch syndrome, chronic pouchitis, or CD of the pouch. Crypt distortion of duodenal epithelium was only seen in patients with inflammatory or structural diseases of the pouch, including acute (18.2%) and chronic (5%) pouchitis, CD of the pouch (14.3%), and surgical complications of the pouch (14.4%).

conclusionHistologic evaluation of duodenal biopsy may provide additional information in patients with ileal pouches, as patients with normal histology of the pouch may have an abnormal duodenal histology.
