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

The association between microscopic colitis (MC) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is uncertain and infrequently reported. Rare cases in the literature consist of simultaneous MC and IBD, or progression of one condition to the other. We present a unique case of clinically and endoscopically diagnosed and successfully treated IBD that revealed MC on histology months later due to reappearance of diarrhea. Common pathophysiologic mechanisms, such as tumor necrosis factor α and T helper type 1 cells, may explain the MC and IBD relationship. During endoscopy, a prompt biopsy should be taken if suspicious for MC, thus decreasing the duration of patient's symptoms and saving healthcare costs.
