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

objectivesCrohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) impact an estimated 350,000 reproductive age men in the United States. The reproductive consequences are largely unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of CD and UC on reproductive outcomes.

methodsFrom the Utah Population Database, we identified a cohort of male patients with CD (1,245) and UC (1,368). Male-sibling controls were identified, and birth outcome data from offspring were obtained. Analyses for CD and UC were completed separately.

resultsAmong UC patients (473) with at least one male sibling (1,020), 66% had offspring, which was not different compared with siblings (61%, P=0.16). Birth outcomes were not different between UC patients and male siblings: congenital malformations (UC 6% vs. 6%, P=0.99), perinatal complications (UC 35% vs. 31%, P=0.23), mean birth weight (UC 3,347 vs. 3,357 g, P=0.53), mean length of gestation (UC 39.0 vs. 39.1 weeks, P=0.54). Among CD patients (421) with at least one male sibling (833), 58% had offspring, which did not differ compared with siblings (57%, P=0.77). Similarly, there were no differences in partner birth outcomes: congenital malformations (CD 7% vs. 6%, P=0.27), perinatal complications (CD 35% vs. 32%, P=0.12), mean birth weight (CD 3,276 vs. 3,324 g, P=0.13), or mean length of gestation (38.8 vs. 39 weeks, P=0.24).

conclusionsWe found no differences in paternity rate or female partner birth outcomes in Utah men with UC or CD compared with male-sibling controls. UC and CD do not appear to affect the reproductive outcomes of men in Utah.
