Incidence and clinical characteristics of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease in Oman.

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: Pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD) has been documented all over the world, and there is now a large body of clinical, pathological, and treatment knowledge and protocols in place in many countries. There is currently limited knowledge on the prevalence and pathology of PIBD in Omani population. The aim of this study is to report the incidence and clinical features of PIBD in Oman. Methods: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional, multicenter study carried out on all children <13 years of age between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2021. Results: Fifty-one children were identified, 22 males (43.1%) and 29 females (56.9%), who were mostly from the Muscat region of Oman. The median incidence in the country was 0.57 (confidence interval [CI]: 0.31-0.64) per 10 Conclusion: The incidence of PIBD in Oman is lower than in some neighboring Gulf countries but similar to that of Saudi Arabia. An alarming upward trend was noted from the year 2015. Large-scale population-based studies are required to investigate the possible causes of this increasing incidence.
