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

backgroundIschemic colitis (IC) is a common ischemic disorder of the colon caused by insufficient blood supply to the colonic mucosa. This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics, comorbidities, and risk factors in patients with IC.

methodsWe performed a retrospective population-based study using electron video-colonoscopy imaging and pathological biopsies from 168 patients diagnosed with IC. A retrospective controlled study was used to analyze differences between a young to middle-aged patient group (78 cases) and an elderly patient group (90 cases) on the basis of clinical characteristics and risk factors.

resultsThe primary symptoms in the 168 patients with IC were abdominal pain, diarrhea, and hematochezia. White blood cells (WBC), neutrophilic granulocyte percentage (NEUT%), C-reactive protein (CRP), and D-dimer were significantly elevated in elderly patients. The sigmoid colon and descending colon were the most common lesion locations (57.1% and 33.9%, respectively). Hypertension, cerebral infarction, and coronary heart disease were the most common comorbidities in elderly patients, while smoking history was the most common risk factor in young to middle-aged patients.

conclusionThe sigmoid colon and descending colon are the most affected locations in IC. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cerebral infarction are the most common risk factors and comorbidities.
