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

BACKGROUND AND

aimA proportion of patients having total proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for ulcerative colitis (UC) are later diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of this study was to identify preoperative and perioperative predictors for the subsequent development of CD in patients who had IPAA for presumed UC.

methodsA retrospective case-control study of patients undergoing IPAA surgery for presumed UC was undertaken. Cases were patients who had a revised diagnosis of CD after surgery. Preoperative and perioperative variables were examined and analyzed.

resultsFifteen cases were compared with 39 controls. Patients aged ≤25 years at initial UC diagnosis were more likely to develop CD compared to those aged >25 years (odds ratio, OR [95% confidence interval, CI]: 7.1 [1.6-31.3];

conclusionPredictors of the development of CD in the pouch include young age at diagnosis and at the time of surgery, and patchy colitis in the resected colon.
