Microscopic colitis: controversies in clinical symptoms and autoimmune comorbidities.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundMicroscopic colitides are chronic immune-inflammatory bowel diseases. The typical presentation is chronic, watery diarrhoea. Inflammation mostly cannot be visualized PATIENTS: A total of 103 patients with microscopic colitis (MC) [28 lymphocytic colitis (LC) 27.2%, 75 collagenous colitis (CC) 72.8%] in the Clinical Centre of the University of Debrecen (tertiary care centre) were included, diagnosed between 1993 and 2020. We aimed for a retrospective analysis characterizing Hungarian MC patients. We sought to compare two subgroups of patients (with either LC or CC). Our investigation focussed on dominant alteration of stool habits, autoimmune and allergic comorbidities. Autoimmune diseases were diagnosed in 39% (40) of the patients, allergic diseases in 26.2% (27) of patients and 22.2% of tested patients had alimentary hypersensitivity to certain foods (18 cases out of 81 tested).
resultsAge of diagnosis was younger in LC (44.5 years, SD: 5.3 vs. 51.9 years, SD: 12.8, difference= 7.4 years
conclusionPre-existing autoimmune and allergic diseases were common in patients with MC. Chronic watery diarrhoea is not experienced in many cases. The absence of certain symptoms should not be used to rule out the condition.
