Microscopic colitis in patients with Takayasu's arteritis: a potential association between the two disease entities.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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 association of Takayasu's arteritis (TAK) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has previously been reported in case series. Microscopic colitis (MC) has IBD-like symptoms with regard to clinical and histopathological feature. We aim to assess the presence of MC in TAK patients in this study. We cross-sectionally assessed TAK patients, between the ages of 18-65 years, who were diagnosed according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. Disease activity was evaluated by Kerr's criteria. Age- and sex-matched irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients were selected as control group. All patients and controls have been interviewed for IBD and IBS symptoms using the questionnaires of WHO guideline and Rome III criteria, respectively. Lower endoscopic procedure was performed with at least five random biopsies taken from different colonic segments and the terminal ileum. A blinded expert pathologist evaluated the specimens for the features of MC. Thirty TAK patients (29 females and 1 male) with the mean age of 35 ± 11 years (range, 20-59 years) and 15 IBS controls with the mean age of 38 ± 13 years were included in the study. TAK patients all fulfilled the MC criteria (three "complete" and six "incomplete" cases). MC was found to be significantly higher in active TAK patients in comparison to inactive group (67 vs 14 %, p = 0.03, OR = 7.9). Our results show that there is an increased frequency of MC in TAK patients, and this is the first report on the association of TAK and MC.
