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

backgroundAbdominal pain is a frequent symptom in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Pain can result from ongoing inflammation or functional disorders imitating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with IBS. However, the impact of IBS genetics on the clinical course of IBD, especially pain levels of patients remains unclear.

methodsData of 857 UC and 1206 CD patients from the Swiss IBD Cohort Study were analysed. We tested the association of the maximum of the abdominal pain item of disease activity indices in UC and CD over the study period with 16 IBS-associated SNPs, using multivariate ANOVA models.

resultsIn UC patients, the SNPs rs1042713 (located on the ADRB2 gene) and rs4663866 (close to the HES6 gene) were associated with higher abdominal pain levels (P = 0.044; P = 0.037, respectively). Abdominal pain was not associated with any markers of patient management in a model adjusted for confounders. In CD patients, higher levels of abdominal pain correlated with the number of physician contacts (P < 10

conclusionsWe detected an association between maximal abdominal pain in UC patients and two IBS-associated SNPs. Abdominal pain levels had a pronounced impact on diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in CD but not in UC patients.
