Body weight, serum albumin and food intolerance were linked to upper gastrointestinal Crohn's disease: a 7-year retrospective analysis.

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
backgroundThe clinical features of upper gastrointestinal (L4) Crohn's disease (CD) and its subtypes, along with the associated and nutritional status, remain poorly described. Our aim was to evaluate the clinical characteristics of L4 CD phenotype and its subtypes at diagnosis, and their relationship with the nutritional status.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on 869 CD patients diagnosed between 2013 and 2019, and the association between the clinical characteristics and nutritional status of L4 patients was determined using Random forest importance ranking and logistic regression.
resultsThe majority of the patients (59.72%) presented L4 lesions, of which 335, 158 and 26 had proximal ileal, jejunal and esophago-gastroduodenal (EGD) lesions respectively. L4 patients were predominantly male (OR 2.07), smoker (OR 1.80), and had higher body weight and BMI, longer disease course, and stricturing disease (OR 1.88). Furthermore, the serum albumin level, body weight and disease course showed higher MDG in the random forest importance ranking test for L4 CD and L4-proximal ileal types. According to logistic regression, body weight (OR 1.054), disease course (OR 1.010), stricturing behavior (OR 4.998) and tomato intolerance (OR 1.313) were the independent risk factors for L4. In addition, body weight (OR 1.042) and stricturing behavior (OR 3.152) were the relevant factors for proximal ileal subtype, and stricturing behavior (OR 4.206) and perianal disease (OR 0.339) for jejunal subtype.
conclusionsL4 disease has a higher incidence rate compared to the non-L4 CD, and mainly affects males, and those with prolonged disease course, stricturing behavior, higher weight, BMI, albumin levels and food intolerance (FI).
