Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Adult HIV-Infected Patients-Is Sexually Transmitted Infections Misdiagnosis Possible?
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe aim of our study was to describe 50 cases of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and HIV co-existence that are under medical supervision in Warsaw.
methodsThis was a retrospective descriptive study. Fifty HIV-infected patients, diagnosed with IBD during the years 2001-2019, were identified. IBD was diagnosed endoscopically and then confirmed by biopsy. All data was obtained from medical records.
resultsAll studied patients were male with a median age of 33 years old (range 20-58 years). All, except one, were men who have sex with men (MSM). The median CD4 cell count was 482 cells/µL (range 165-1073 cells/µL). Crohn's disease (CD) was diagnosed in 7 patients (14%), ulcerative colitis (UC) in 41 patients (82%), and 2 patients (4%) had indeterminate colitis. Forty-nine patients (98%) reported a history of unprotected receptive anal intercourse and different sexual transmitted infections (STIs). Only in 10 patients (20%) were one or more IBD relapses observed.
conclusionsWe recommend HIV testing for every MSM with IBD suspicion. Moreover, STIs testing should be performed in every IBD patient with colorectal inflammation, using molecular and serological methods. Persons who reported unprotected receptive anal intercourse seem to have the biggest risk of STI-associated proctitis or proctocolitis mimicking IBD.
