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

Both inflammation and infection are associated with the development of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The purpose of this study is to further elucidate the association between IBS and COPD through a retrospective cohort study. We enrolled IBS patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2011 with follow-up for at least one year. The non-IBS patients as comparison group were selected with 1:3 matching by propensity score. Statistical analysis was utilized to assess the differences in characteristic distribution, and to compare the cumulative incidence of COPD between the IBS and non-IBS cohorts. We selected 14,021 IBS patients and 42,068 non-IBS patients for comparison. The IBS patients exhibited a significant risk to develop COPD compared with non-IBS patients. Additionally, the cumulative incidence rate of COPD in the IBS cohort increased significantly during the follow-up period of more than ten years, compared to the non-IBS cohort, based on the Kaplan-Meier analysis. The risk of COPD was also significantly decreased in those patients with more than eighteen IBS-related clinical visits. This retrospective cohort study demonstrates the significantly increased risk of COPD in patients with IBS. Therefore, early inspection and prevention of COPD is essential for patients with IBS.
