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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsInflammatory bowel disease [IBD] is linked to psychiatric morbidity, but few studies have assessed general population comparators. We aimed to investigate the risk of psychiatric morbidity and suicide in adult-onset IBD patients.

methodsWe used a nationwide population-based cohort study in Sweden [1973-2013]. We studied the risk of psychiatric disorders and suicide in 69,865 adult-onset IBD patients [ulcerative colitis, UC: n = 43,557; Crohn's disease, CD: n = 21,245; and IBD-unclassified: n = 5063] compared to 3,472,913 general population references and 66 292 siblings.

resultsDuring a median follow-up of 11 years, we found 7465 [10.7%] first psychiatric disorders in IBD [incidence rate, IR/1000 person-years 8.4] and 306 911 [9.9%] in the general population [IR 6.6], resulting in 1.8 extra psychiatric morbidity per 100 patients followed-up for 10 years and a hazard ratio [HR] of 1.3 [95% confidence interval, 95%CI = 1.2-1.3]. The highest risk of overall psychiatric morbidity was seen in the first year after IBD diagnosis [HR = 1.4, 95%CI = 1.2-1.6] and in patients with extraintestinal manifestations [HR = 1.6, 95%CI = 1.5-1.7]. Psychiatric morbidity was more common in all IBD subtypes [HR 1.3-1.5]. An increased risk of suicide attempts was observed among all IBD types [HR = 1.2-1.4], whereas completed suicide was explicitly associated with CD [HR = 1.5] and elderly-onset [diagnosed at the age of > 60 years] IBD [HR = 1.7].

conclusionAdult-onset IBD was associated with an increased risk of psychiatric disorders and suicide attempts. Psychological follow-up should be provided to patients with IBD, especially those with extraintestinal manifestations and elderly-onset IBD. This follow-up should be within the first year after IBD diagnosis.
