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

aimsExtraintestinal manifestations [EIMs] are common in inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. Data on epidemiology and risk factors of EIMs in IBD patients are limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of EIMs in a large cohort of Greek IBD patients and identify risk factors for their development.

methodsThe study population consisted of IBD patients, who were followed in eight tertiary Greek hospitals. Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients were analysed. The diagnosis of EIMs was based on standard criteria and on specialist consultation.

resultsIn total, 1860 IBD patients (1001 with Crohn's disease [CD], 859 with ulcerative colitis [UC]) were registered. Among them 615 [33.1%] exhibited at least one EIM; 238 patients [38.6%] developed an EIM before IBD diagnosis. An association between active IBD and presence of an EIM was established in 61.1% of the patients. Arthritic [peripheral arthritis], mucocutaneous [erythema nodosum], and ocular [episcleritis] were the most common manifestations. EIMs were more prevalent in females, patients with CD, smokers [for all p <0.0001], patients with extensive UC [p = 0.007], and patients with a previous appendectomy [p < 0.0001] or a major IBD-related surgery [p = 0.012].

conclusionsAbout one-third of Greek IBD patients developed at least one EIM. Of those, more than one-third had their EIM diagnosed before IBD, and in about two-thirds it was related to disease activity. EIMs were more frequently present in females and patients with extensive UC in multivariate analysis.
