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

A 50-year-old man with a 20-year history of left-sided ulcerative colitis (UC) presented to our hospital with sudden onset of watery diarrhea. To this point, he had been treated with mesalazine 2.0 g/day for UC and had maintained remission. We considered that the UC had worsened. We immediately performed surveillance colonoscopy, which revealed a normal mucous membrane. The results of blood laboratory examinations were normal. Histopathology of colonic biopsies revealed new-onset collagenous colitis (CC), with a thickened subepithelial collagen band (SECB) and inactive UC. We herein report the importance of random colonic biopsies to diagnose CC even when the endoscopic appearance of the colon is normal in patients with inflammatory bowel disease with worsened diarrhea.
