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

Determining the overall US prevalence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is essential to national level prevention programs and population risk assessment; however currently US IBD prevalence remains uncertain. We used US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data to estimate the population-based prevalence of a self-reported history of medically diagnosed IBD, comparing to prior reports. Lifetime IBD prevalence for adults aged 20 + years was estimated in the independently conducted NHANES II (1976-80) and NHANES 2009-10 surveys. Participants were considered to have IBD if they reported being told by a physician they had Crohn's Disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC). Clinically relevant NHANES data were analyzed to assess the self-reports. Survey design variables and sample weights were used to account for the complex survey design. The NHANES 2009-10 US IBD diagnosed prevalence was 1.2% (95% CI 0.8,1.6%), or an estimated 2.3 million persons. UC prevalence was 1.0% (95% CI 0.5,1.4%; 1.9 million persons) and CD prevalence was 0.3% (95% CI 0.1,0.4%; 578,000 persons). NHANES II UC prevalence was 1.0 (95% CI 0.8,1.2%), similar to 2009-10. UC prevalence was higher for ages ≥ 50 years in both surveys. NHANES 2009-10 data showed no UC sex differences, but women had higher UC prevalence in NHANES II. Remarkably, UC prevalence was similar between the two NHANES surveys fielded 30 years apart. The NHANES data are consistent with IBD prevalences reported in previous US nationally representative surveys, indicating that diagnosed IBD may affect approximately 1% of the US adult population.
