Article in Future science OA, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06725563 (Endoscopically Placed Lumen-Apposing Metal Stents as a Safe Alternative to Surgery for the Treatment of Symptomatic Intestinal Strictures in Individuals With Inflammatory Bowel Disease), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Aim: We aimed in this study to evaluate the impact of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on patients' professional life and to determine predictors of severe work productivity loss (WPL). Materials & methods: A cross sectional study including patients with a confirmed diagnosis of IBD. Work productivity was evaluated with the work productivity and activity impairment score. Results: Severe absenteeism and WPL were found in respectively 7 (5.1%) and 54 (39.1%) patients. In multivariate analysis, the following features were found to be independently associated with severe WPL: penetrating Crohn's disease (p: 0.001, OR: 6), anemia (p: 0.031, OR: 3.23), diarrhea (p < 0.001, OR: 11.23) and a secondary level of education (p: 0.003, OR: 1.95). Conclusion: Our results show that IBD have a substantial effect on patients' professional life.
