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

introductionRecently, faecal calprotectin (FC) has been used as a marker of inflammatory processes in the gastrointestinal tract, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and has served to assess and monitor disease activity, mucosal healing (MH), and disease recurrence.

aimTo assess the correlation between FC and endoscopic activity of inflammation. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis retrospective study included 81 patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), with a median age of 15 years (range: 3-18 years), who were treated in the Children's Memorial Health Institute (CMHI) between 2013 and 2015. Within the study group there were two sub-groups created: patients with Baron score = 0 ( RESUTS: Statistical analysis was performed using Statistica 10 software (StatSoft, USA), and the value of

conclusionsFaecal calprotectin may be a good, noninvasive biomarker of mucosal healing in paediatric patients with UC.
