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

Microscopic colitis (MC) has rarely been described to be the cause of watery diarrhea in those with established inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and instead has been presented as a herald syndrome to eventual IBD or incidentally found in asymptomatic IBD patients. We report a case series of 7 patients with IBD who presented with a watery diarrheal exacerbation due to new-onset MC. We propose that new-onset MC should be considered in the differential diagnosis of watery diarrhea occurring in patients with long-standing IBD and that evaluation should include colonoscopy with biopsies obtained throughout the colon.
