Acute Gastroenteritis in the Etiology of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Article in Crohn's & colitis 360, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) consists of a spectrum of disorders including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, with a rising incidence worldwide. However, despite this prevalence the etiology of IBD remains uncertain. It has been suggested that an episode of gastroenteritis may precipitate IBD. Methods: Studies were identified using a literature search of Pubmed/Medline and Embase/Ovid. This review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The primary outcome was incidence of new-onset IBD after gastroenteritis. Secondary outcomes included incidence of IBD after bacterial, viral, and parasitic gastrointestinal infections. Results: Eleven studies ( Conclusions: In summary, our meta-analysis has shown that there is considerable heterogeneity in the literature regarding the role of gastroenteritis in the development of IBD. Further higher quality studies need to be performed to ascertain the true nature of this.
