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

backgroundRecent studies suggested that anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibody (ASCA) status was associated with diagnostic findings, stratified classification phenotypes, disease activity and clinical course of Crohn's disease (CD). However, the relationship between ASCA status and phenotypes of CD remains controversial in these studies.

aimsThe purpose of this study was to evaluate whether ASCA status is associated with the phenotypes and the risk of surgery in diverse populations in CD.

methodsWe conducted a meta-analysis of studies assessing the association of ASCA status with phenotypes and risk of surgery in CD. Three independent reviewers undertook data extraction. We pooled odds ratios separately for the cohort and case-control studies.

resultsWe identified ten cohort studies (n = 2,365) and 14 case-control studies (n = 1,887) that investigated the association of ASCA status with phenotypes and risk of surgery in CD. The meta-analysis of the cohort studies showed significant association between the ASCA-positive status and higher risk of early-onset age (OR 2.25, 95 % CI 1.41-3.57, P < 0.001), ileal involvement disease (1.70, 1.05-2.77, P = 0.03), complicated disease behavior (2.09, 1.71-2.57, P < 0.001), perianal disease (1.49, 1.14-1.94, P = 0.004), and risk for surgery (1.61, 1.29-2.01, P < 0.001). Meta-analysis of the case-control studies also showed a significantly higher risk in ileal involvement disease (1.77, 1.25-2.49, P = 0.001), complicated disease behavior (2.13, 1.70-2.68, P < 0.001), perianal disease (1.96, 1.38-2.78, P < 0.001), and risk for surgery (1.71, 1.17-2.49, P = 0.005), except for the early-onset age (1.16, 0.80-1.69, P = 0.44).

conclusionsThis meta-analysis indicated that positive ASCA status is a risk factor for early-onset age, ileal involvement, complicated behavior, perianal disease and requirement for surgery in CD.
