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

The incidence and prevalence of Crohn's disease are increasing, particularly in the Western world and Asia. Corticosteroids have been used for decades to treat active Crohn's disease and remain the mainstay in the management of moderate-to-severe relapses in Crohn's disease. The use of corticosteroids, despite their efficacy, may be associated with several drawbacks. This review article provides a comprehensive account of the role of corticosteroids in inducing remission in adult patients with Crohn's disease, including aspects such as approaches to corticosteroid sparing and to minimize the risk of corticosteroid dependency, as well as the role of newer corticosteroids such as budesonide in reducing systemic adverse effects.
