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

Alcohol consumption is common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but alcohol has been reported to be the most-avoided diet item by this patient population. This article explores the available evidence for the impact that alcohol use has on IBD development, relapse, symptom control, and medication interactions. Although evidence linking the consumption of alcoholic beverages and the development of new-onset IBD is controversial, prospective research has reported that alcohol use is associated with a higher risk of relapse. Moreover, patients with IBD report worse gastrointestinal symptoms following alcohol consumption. On the other hand, alcoholic beverages such as red wine may have anti-inflammatory properties capable of assisting in disease control, although they may also have a negative effect on disease monitoring, namely fecal calprotectin levels. Importantly, the use of alcohol can interfere with the metabolism of several medications, leading to increased adverse events or even loss of efficacy. In the available literature, alcohol use in patients with IBD trends toward harmful effects; however, more research is needed to provide confident recommendations.
