Surgery for pouch inflow limb-related complications: Crohn's disease or something else?
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeA total proctocolectomy with subsequent creation of an ileal-pouch, such as a J-pouch or a Kock pouch, has been the most common surgery performed for ulcerative colitis (UC). A small portion of these patients will develop complications with the inflow limb into the pouch requiring operative intervention. The objective was to establish a better understanding as to the pathological mechanism by which these pouch inflow limb problems develop.
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single tertiary care inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) center. A database was created of all the patients who underwent pouch-related procedures, following completion of their original pouch, between 2006 and 2018. The patients requiring operative resection for inflow limb complications were identified among this cohort. Operative and pathological data were collected.
resultsOne hundred seventy-eight UC patients underwent surgeries on their pouches between 2006 and 2018. Sixteen patients required operative resection for inflow limb problems. Reoperations for inflow limb problems included inflow limb resection with pouch excision (n = 4) and inflow limb resection with pouch revision (n = 12). The pathology findings of the inflow limb were consistent with Crohn's disease in 9 patients (56%). Two other patients (total 69%) were eventually diagnosed with Crohn's disease due to other pathological specimens or perianal pathology. The remaining patients had chronic, non-specific enteritis/serositis.
conclusionsA small proportion of pouch patients will eventually require surgery for inflow limb complications. Among these, there was a high rate of Crohn's disease of the inflow limb and overall change in diagnosis to Crohn's disease (Plietz et al. in Official Journal of the American College of Gastroenterology | ACG 114:S453, 2019).
