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
objectivesOur study aimed to report the epidemiology, clinical presentations, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and outcomes of Crohn's disease (CD) in pediatric patients in Bahrain.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of patients with CD diagnosed in the pediatric department, Salmaniya Medical Complex, Bahrain, between 1984 and 2017. We used the data to calculate the annual incidence and cumulative prevalence. Data about gender, nationality, clinical presentation, age at presentation and diagnosis, duration of illness, consanguinity, family history, contact with smokers, and comorbidities were gathered. Results of hematological, biochemical, and serological tests were also collected. All radiological, endoscopic, and histopathological findings were reviewed. Data about medical therapy, relapse episodes, hospital admissions, complications, and outcomes were collected.
resultsOf 108 pediatric patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), 51 (47.2%) patients had CD. The annual incidence was 1 in 100 000 per year (range = 0-5 patients/year) with significant rise on comparing the three decades (
conclusionsThe clinical characteristics of our population are comparable to that reported in neighboring countries and worldwide.
