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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND &
aimsA comprehensive knowledge of the natural history of ulcerative colitis (UC) helps understand disease evolution, identify poor prognostic markers and impact of treatment strategies, and facilitates shared decision-making. We systematically reviewed the natural history of UC in adult population-based cohort studies with long-term follow-up.
methodsThrough a systematic literature review of MEDLINE through March 31, 2016, we identified 60 studies performed in 17 population-based inception cohorts reporting the long-term course and outcomes of adult-onset UC (n = 15,316 UC patients).
resultsLeft-sided colitis is the most frequent location, and disease extension is observed in 10%-30% of patients. Majority of patients have a mild-moderate course, which is most active at diagnosis and then in varying periods of remission or mild activity; about 10%-15% of patients experience an aggressive course, and the cumulative risk of relapse is 70%-80% at 10 years. Almost 50% of patients require UC-related hospitalization, and 5-year risk of re-hospitalization is ∼50%. The 5-year and 10-year cumulative risk of colectomy is 10%-15%; achieving mucosal healing is associated with lower risk of colectomy. About 50% of patients receive corticosteroids, although this proportion has decreased over time, with a corresponding increase in the use of immunomodulators (20%) and anti-tumor necrosis factor (5%-10%). Although UC is not associated with an increased risk of mortality, it is associated with high morbidity and work disability, comparable to Crohn's disease.
conclusionsUC is a disabling condition over time. Prospective cohorts are needed to evaluate the impact of recent strategies of early use of disease-modifying therapies and treat-to-target approach with immunomodulators and biologics. Long-term studies from low-incidence areas are also needed.
