Association of Fecal Calprotectin With Endoscopic and Histologic Activity in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Article in JPGN reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Fecal calprotectin (FC) is a noninvasive marker of intestinal inflammation used for screening and ongoing monitoring of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); it is unclear the association of specific FC values with disease activity. The aim of our study was to examine the association of FC values with endoscopic and histologic severity. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of patients who had FC done between 30 days and 1 day before colonoscopy at our institution. IBD patients were graded using the simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease or Mayo endoscopic score for ulcerative colitis. Histologic slides were graded using the Geboes method. Results: Three-hundred thirty-one patients were included in the study and 107 had IBD. For endoscopy, median FC was lowest for all IBD patients with no disease (181 μg/g) and highest in severe disease (921 μg/g), with significant difference between no disease and moderate and severe disease ( Conclusions: There was a linear increase in FC values associated with increasing disease severity in the undifferentiated IBD cohort. Values for IBD patients in endoscopic remission were significantly different from our control population. FC may be a useful noninvasive marker to assess disease severity.
