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 pathological diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is often difficult because biopsy material may not contain pathognomonic features, making distinction between Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and other forms of colitides a truly challenging exercise. The problem is further complicated as several diseases frequently mimic the histological changes seen in IBD. Successful diagnosis is reliant on careful clinicopathological correlation and recognising potential pitfalls. This is best achieved in a multidisciplinary team setting when the full clinical history, endoscopic findings, radiology and relevant serology and microbiology are available. In this review, we present an up-to-date evaluation of the histopathological mimics of IBD.
