An Unusual Initial Presentation of Elderly-Onset Crohn's Disease.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Crohn's disease affects individuals across all age groups. However, given that it is more prevalent in younger adults, less attention is typically paid to elderly-onset Crohn's disease. The incidence of late-onset inflammatory bowel disease is around 8 per 100,00 patients per year in the United States. The hallmark symptoms of Crohn's, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss, may be absent in elderly patients, therefore making it more challenging to reach a diagnosis and initiate treatment in a timely manner. Crohn's disease can lead to multiple complications, including abdominal abscess, enteroenteric or perianal fistulas, and bowel obstruction. Nevertheless, it is highly uncommon to have bowel obstruction as the initial sign of the disease.
