Biopsy diagnosis of colitis: an algorithmic approach.
Review in Virchows Archiv : an international journal of pathology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Certain types of colitides, such as collagenous colitis, lymphocytic colitis, and ischemic colitis, have distinct histologic features that allow for a specific diagnosis. However, in most colonic biopsy specimens, a definite diagnosis cannot be established on the basis of histology alone. Thus, in most cases of colitis, it is helpful to utilize a systematic approach in order to recognize patterns of injury. This information in conjunction with clinical and laboratory findings may help pathologists narrow the differential diagnosis and/or establish a more definite etiology for the patient's illness in order to guide clinical management. We provide general guidelines to distinguish variations in normal mucosa and biopsy procedure-related artifacts from true inflammatory conditions. Inflammatory conditions may be further categorized into those with predominantly lymphoplasmacytic inflammation (with or without neutrophils), predominantly neutrophilic inflammation, predominantly eosinophilic inflammation, or paucicellular colitis, since each of these patterns of inflammation are associated with a distinct differential diagnosis. This review will focus on a pattern-based algorithmic approach to evaluating biopsies of patients who present to physicians with signs and symptoms of colitis.
