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

backgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD), once considered to be a Western disease, is increasingly being reported from India and other Asian countries. The present review summarizes epidemiology and disease characteristics of IBD in India with reference to other Asian countries and the West. SUMMARY: India is projected to have one of the highest disease burden of IBD across the globe. The overall genetic risk and microbial signature in Indian IBD patients are similar to those of patients in the West as demonstrated by the similar incidence of IBD in second-generation Indian immigrants and matching perturbations in the structural and functional component of gut microbiota in Indian studies. The concept of the hygiene hypothesis continues to remain controversial with Indian studies demonstrating contradictory findings. The disease characteristics, long-term outcomes including the risk of colorectal cancer, and the effect of pregnancy on IBD and vice versa in Indian patients with IBD are in general similar with few differences. Unlike patients in the West, very few Indian patients have a positive family history. KEY MESSAGE: The Indian disease pattern is going through a phase of epidemiological transition with a surge in the incidence of IBD. The epidemiology and disease characteristics of IBD mirror the patterns observed in the West.
