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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsThe impact of gender on the development of chronic ileal pouch disorders following ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) has not been evaluated. This study was aimed to assess the association between gender and pouch outcomes.

methodsComparisons of long-term pouch outcomes between male and female patients were performed using both univariate and multivariate analyses.

resultsOf all patients enrolled (n = 1564), 881(56.3 %) were males. Male patients were older at the time of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) diagnosis and pouch construction. The frequencies of neoplasia as the indication for colectomy and significant comorbidity were higher in males, while fewer male patients had IBD-related extra-intestinal manifestations or concurrent autoimmune disorders. There was no significant difference between the genders in other clinicopathological characteristics. More male patients (n = 144, 16.3 %) developed chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis (CARP) than females (n = 73, 10.7 %) (P = 0.001). Seventy-four males (8.4 %) had ileal pouch anastomotic sinus versus 22 female patients (3.2 %) (P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analyses confirmed the association between male gender and CARP (odds ratio (OR) 1.64, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.21-2.24, P = 0.002) and male gender and ileal pouch anastomotic sinus (OR 2.85, 95 % CI 1.48-5.47, P = 0.002). After a median follow-up of 9.0 (interquartile range 4.0-14.0) years, pouch failed in a total of 126 patients (8.1 %). No significant difference was identified between male and female patients in pouch failure (P = 0.61).

conclusionsAmong the pouch patients referred to our subspecialty Pouch Center, male patients were found to have an increased risk for the CARP and ileal pouch sinus. The pathogenic mechanisms of the association warrant further study.
