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

Biological monoclonal antibodies such as infliximab have significantly remodeled inflammatory bowel disease's treatment course. Despite multiple side effects reported with infliximab, this medication has shown to be robust and practical. There is a paucity of cases reporting venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurrence during the treatment with infliximab. Although such an association's exact mechanism is still not precise, we should be aware of the drug thromboembolic aptitude. Close attention should be given to patients who started infliximab infusion for any symptoms of pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis.
