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

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a term used to describe chronic inflammatory entities of the gastrointestinal system with an unclear etiology. Extra-intestinal manifestations beyond the involvement of the gastrointestinal tract can also occur. Several studies have investigated the alterations of pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in patients with IBD. To the best of our knowledge, the present review article is the first to summarize all the types of PFTs that have been performed in patients with IBD. Contradictory data exist regarding the association of PFT alterations with disease activity. PFT abnormalities can develop in individuals with IBD who have no clear clinical signs or radiological evidence, suggesting that PFTs may be useful in detecting latent respiratory involvement. The most prevalent finding in the PFTs of adults and children with IBD is an impairment in the diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, although evidence on the other tests, particularly spirometric values, and their connection with disease activity is inconsistent.
