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

Smoking influences the risks of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). A hospital-based cohort was conducted to evaluate the effect of smoking on the development and outcomes of IBD, with age, sex and comorbidities matched non-IBD controls from the National Health Interview Survey database of Taiwan. 700 IBD patients (360 ulcerative colitis (UC), 340 Crohn's disease (CD)) were analyzed for outcomes; and 575 patients (297 UC, 278 CD) were analyzed for prevalence. Smoking prevalence was significantly lower in UC patients than controls (20.9% vs. 30.4%, p < 0.01), but no difference between CD patients and controls (19.8% vs. 22.1%, p = 0.60). UC smokers had fewer admissions (1.6 vs. 2.5, p < 0.05) but higher rates of new cancer development (16% vs. 6.7%, p < 0.05) and mortality (16% vs. 4.9%, p < 0.01) than nonsmokers. CD smokers tended to have higher rates of stricturing and penetrating diseases (p < 0.05), and higher surgery risk (60.3% vs. 38.3%, p < 0.01) than nonsmokers. Smoking prevents UC occurrence and is associated with fewer hospitalization but increases risks of cancer and mortality. By contrast, smoking does not affect CD occurrence but is related to more aggressive behavior which results in a higher surgical rate.
