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

Despite the development and introduction of new pharmaceutical approaches for Crohn's disease, the treatment of these patients still remains a major clinical challenge due to the heterogeneity in the course, degree of inflammation and localization. Over the last decade surgery was mainly reserved for the treatment of complications during the long course of Crohn's disease; however, due to new evidence-based knowledge, primary surgical resection in patients suffering from isolated Crohn's disease of the terminal ileum represents an equally effective alternative to medicinal antibody-based treatment. Even if further randomized and controlled trials are necessary, the currently available follow-up studies show promising data regarding disease progression with a significant reduction in the need for immunosuppression, which is usually necessary in these patients primarily treated by medication. Therefore, in the interdisciplinary decision on treatment early/primary surgical treatment should be considered as an equally effective alternative for a suitable patient collective.
