Colectomy risk score predicts pouchitis in patients with ulcerative colitis.
Article in Updates in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Risk stratification is required to improve the management of pouchitis with ulcerative colitis (UC) patients who undergo ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). Recently, the colectomy risk score (CRS) has been used to assess UC severity and predict the need for surgery. We explored whether the CRS predicted pouchitis in patients with UC who underwent IPAA. This retrospective study included 168 UC patients who underwent IPAA. Pouchitis was diagnosed according to the pouchitis disease activity index. The primary endpoint was the cumulative incidence of pouchitis. The risk factors for pouchitis using preoperatively obtained data, including the CRS, were investigated. Based on their CRS, patients were assigned to low- (scores 0-3), intermediate- (scores 4-6), and high-risk (scores 7-9) groups. The incidence of pouchitis was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier curve. CRS validity was assessed using the Cox proportional hazards model. During the median 7.2 (interquartile range [IQR] 2.8-11.1) years' follow-up, 37 (28.5%) patients were diagnosed with pouchitis. Patients with pouchitis had significantly higher CRS than patients without pouchitis (median 7.0; IQR, 4.0-7.0 vs median 5.0; IQR, 3.0-7.0). The cumulative incidences of pouchitis in the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups were 10.3%, 18.3%, and 36.1% at 5 years, respectively. Thus, the incidence trended to increase significantly as CRS increased. Multivariate analysis revealed high-risk CRS status was an independent predictor of pouchitis (hazard ratio: 18.03; 95% confidence interval 1.55-210.05). CRS is useful in risk stratification for the development of subsequent pouchitis in patients with UC undergoing IPAA.
