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

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a greater frequency of ocular extra-intestinal manifestations (O-EIMs) than the general population, while Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) have inconsistent prevalence, according to previous studies. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of O-EIMs in CD and UC, respectively. We systemically reviewed O-EIMs and IBD across several online databases. Inclusion criteria are as follows: (1) observational studies examining the association between O-EIMs and IBD, such as cross-sectional, case-control, or cohort studies; (2) human and adult individuals; and (3) with case and control groups consisting of patients with and without O-EIMs, respectively. Patients under the age of 18 or any study on pediatric IBD will be excluded. The prevalence of uveitis in adults was determined by 21 studies comprising 190,941 individuals with IBD, including 62,874 CD and 128,067 UC. The pooled analysis revealed significantly increased odds of uveitis in patients with CD than with UC (pooled odd ratio (OR) 1.603, 95% confidence interval 1.254-2.049). The subgroup analysis revealed that European populations had significantly higher odds of developing uveitis and episcleritis in patients with CD than UC (pooled OR 1.683 and 2.401, respectively). Although O-EIMs may be the prodrome of IBD, no consistent finding was obtained as a result of the high heterogeneity from the two included studies. This meta-analysis indicates the significantly increased odds of uveitis in adults with CD than those with UC. In subgroup analysis, European with CD seemed to have higher odds of uveitis and episcleritis than those with UC. Nonetheless, the link between O-EIMs and IBD remained unclear.
