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

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with psychiatric diseases, but it is unclear to what degree patients with IBD are affected over their lifetime. We aimed to longitudinally investigate the risk of anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder before and after IBD diagnosis to understand the full burden of these diseases in patients with IBD. Methods: In this population based cohort study, we identified 22,103 patients diagnosed with IBD between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2013 in the Danish National registers and 110,515 matched reference individuals from the general population. We calculated yearly prevalence of hospital contacts for anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder and dispensed prescriptions for antidepressants from five years before to ten years after IBD diagnosis. We used logistic regression to calculate prevalence odds ratios (OR) for each outcome prior to IBD diagnosis, and Cox regression to calculate hazard ratios (HR) of new outcomes after IBD diagnosis. Findings: During >150,000 person years follow-up, patients with IBD had higher risk of anxiety (OR 1.4; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2-1.7) and depression (OR 1.4; 95% CI 1.3-1.6) starting at least five years before and continuing until at least ten years after IBD diagnosis (HR 1.3; 95% CI 1.1-1.5 for anxiety and HR 1.5; 95% CI 1.4-1.7 for depression). The risk was particularly high around IBD diagnosis and in patients diagnosed with IBD after the age of 40 years. We found no association between IBD and bipolar disorder. Interpretation: This population-based study suggests that anxiety and depression are clinically significant comorbidities of IBD both before and after IBD diagnosis, which warrant thorough evaluation and management, particularly around the time of IBD diagnosis. Funding: The Danish National Research Foundation [DNRF148], the Lundbeck Foundation [R313-2019-857], and Aage og Johanne Louis-Hansens Fond [9688-3374 TJS].
