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), with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis as main subtypes, is a prototypical multifactorial disease with both genetic and environmental factors involved. Genetically, IBD covers a wide spectrum from monogenic to polygenic forms. In polygenic disease, many genetic variants each contribute a small amount to disease risk. With the advent of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), it became possible to find these variants and corresponding genes, leading so far to the discovery of ca 240 loci associated with IBD. Together, these however explain only 20-25% of the heritability of IBD, leaving a large portion unaccounted for. This missing heritability might be hidden in common variants with even lower effect than the ones currently found through GWAS, but also in rare variants which can be found through large-scale sequencing studies or potentially in multiplex families. In this review, we will give an overview of the current knowledge about the genetics of non-monogenic IBD and how it differs from the monogenic form(s), and future perspectives. The history of IBD genetic studies from twin studies over linkage studies to GWAS, and finally large-scale sequencing studies and the revisiting of multiplex families will be discussed.
