Inflammatory Response in Patients With Crohn's Disease Compared With Ulcerative Colitis: Secondary Results of a Prospective Pilot Study.

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: The aim of this study was to compare the inflammatory response (IR) to surgery between patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods: This study is a secondary analysis of data collected in a previous study by the authors. We included all adult patients who underwent elective surgery for CD and UC. The primary outcome variable was the difference in postoperative IR as measured by interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 10 (IL-10), C-reactive protein (CRP), and the count of white blood cells (WBCs) in peripheral blood. Two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance with a mixed effect (disease type as the between-patient factor, and time as the within patient factor). Results: We included 46 patients in this pilot study. Median age was 42.5 years (IQR 30.5-42.2), 25/46 were females (54.3%). Patients with CD had a more marked IR to surgery compared with those with UC as shown by significant differences in levels of IL-6, IL-10, and CRP. Patients with CD were more often treated with postoperative epidural analgesia 17 (53.1%) versus 1 (7.1%), Conclusions: The postoperative IR was greater in patients with CD than those with UC. This is important to tackle in preoperative optimization as well as postoperative recovery protocols.
