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

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality despite aggressive treatment of traditional risk factors. Chronic inflammation plays an important role in the initiation and progression of CVDs. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a systemic state of inflammation exhibiting increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines including tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6. Importantly, IBD is associated with increased risk for CVDs especially in women and young adults, including coronary artery disease, stroke, thromboembolic diseases, and arrhythmias. Potential mechanisms underlying the increased risk for CVDs in IBD patients include increased levels of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress, altered platelet function, hypercoagulability, decreased numbers of circulating endothelial progenitor cells, endothelial dysfunction, and possible interruption of gut microbiota. Although IBD does not appear to exacerbate the traditional risk factors for CVDs, including hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus, and obesity, aggressive risk stratifications are important for primary and secondary prevention of CVDs for IBD patients. Compared to 5-aminosalicylates and corticosteroids, anti-TNF-α therapy in IBD patients was consistently associated with decreasing cardiovascular events. In the absence of contraindications, low-dose aspirin and statins appear to be beneficial for IBD patients. Low-molecular-weight heparin is also recommended for patients who are hospitalized with acute IBD flares without major bleeding risk. A multidisciplinary team approach should be considered for the management of IBD patients.
