Review in Therapeutic advances in gastroenterology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Crohn's disease (CD) is a debilitating, systemic inflammatory disorder with both gastrointestinal and extraintestinal manifestations. Its existence predates modern medicine, but its precise etiology remains incompletely understood. Most authorities suggest a multifactorial pathogenesis owing to a mixture of genetic disorders, immunologic dysregulation, microbiota disequilibrium and environmental influences. Of these factors, the overactive immunologic response seen in CD appears to be the most promising target of medical therapy. Biological agents comprise a relatively new class of drugs that can induce and maintain remission in moderate to severe CD, as well as in ulcerative colitis. This review will provide an overview of CD, its history, clinical features, pathophysiology, and treatment options focusing on current and future biological agents with an emphasis on drug development, dosage and administration.
