The clinical practice of ulcerative colitis in elderly patients: An investigation using a nationwide database in Japan.
Article in JGH open : an open access journal of gastroenterology and hepatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimThe number of elderly patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) is increasing worldwide. The clinical practice of associated treatment is still unclear. Therefore, we aimed to analyze clinical treatment realities and mortality in elderly and non-elderly patients with UC.
methodsWe collected UC patients' data using the diagnosis procedure combination (DPC) database system and divided eligible patients into elderly (≥65 years) and non-elderly (≤64 years) groups. We investigated and compared their therapeutic histories (medical treatments
resultsThe rates of systemic steroid injection, molecular targeting drug usage, and surgery were not different between the two age groups. Meanwhile, the rate of in-hospital death in elderly patients was higher than that in non-elderly patients (2.7%
conclusionsThe clinical practice of treating elderly patients with UC is overall not different from treating non-elderly patients with UC. Although the form of medical treatment and surgery rate for elderly patients with UC may not be significantly different from non-elderly patients, the rate of in-hospital death for elderly patients is higher.
