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

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of poorly understood aetiology. While medical treatment is first-line management, approximately 10% of patients with UC will require a colectomy either as an emergency or elective procedure. There are multiple surgical options available in the current era and the choice of operation(s) is highly dependent on the clinical presentation, patient preference and individual surgeon or institutional practice. We present a review of modern surgical practices in ulcerative colitis, addressing some current controversies and diversities.
