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

backgroundA comprehensive evaluation of the burden of inflammation bowel disease (IBD) is important for identifying potential strategies to control the disease. We present results from the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) 2017 of IBD at the national level, the trends in disease burden and its epidemiological features in China.

methodsUsing the methods and results from GBD 2017, we describe the IBD burden based on the prevalence, incidence, mortality, years of lost (YLLs), the years of life lived with disability (YLDs) and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in China estimated using DisMod-MR 2·1. We additionally evaluated the rate of DALYs at national locations in 2017.

findingsFrom 1990 to 2017, the cases, deaths, YLLs, YLDs and DALYs for IBD in China were from 1,047,991 to 2,665,081, from 5701 to 5198, from 188,814 to 107,373, from 157,581 to 394,887, from 346,396 to 502,260, respectively. Increasing trends were observed in prevalence (APC: 2·9%), incidence (APC: 1·1%), DALYs (APC: 0·8%) and YLDs (APC:2·9%). There were decreasing trends in mortality (APC: -1·0%) and YLLs (APC: -2·7%). As to the age-standardized rates of DALYs, it observed a decreasing trend (APC: -0·78%). Similar trends were observed in men and women. The age-standardized APCs in incidence, mortality and rate of YLLs among women were higher than those among men. The age-standardized rate of DALYs was 27·51 per 100,000 in 2017.

interpretationBetween 1990 and 2017, China experienced a decrease in the age-standardized DALYs, mortality rates and YLLs due to IBD, despite an increase in the age-standardized rate of prevalence, incidence and YLDs. China is still one of the low endemic areas.
