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

Standardized methods of making and recording clinical observations of patients with inflammatory bowel disease are needed for the conduct of controlled clinical trials and for the application of the results of such trials to clinical practice. A number of attempts to develop such methods have been made since the early 1950s, and such efforts continue at present. A universally accepted and acceptable clinical instrument to measure the disease activity of either Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis will probably never be achieved. However, if interested clinicians can agree on a basic set of observations and how to make and record them, accurate comparisons of therapeutic outcomes across time and space will become possible. Toward this goal several groups of clinicians are currently working.
