Iron Deficiency Is Common after Restorative Proctocolectomy with Ileal Pouch-Anal Anastomosis in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis.

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: Micronutrient deficiencies may occur after restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), largely due to malabsorption and/or pouch inflammation. Objectives: The objective of this study was to report the frequency of iron deficiency in patients with UC who underwent RPC with IPAA and identify associated risk factors. Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients with UC or IBD-unclassified who underwent RPC with IPAA at Mount Sinai Hospital between 2008 and 2017. Patients younger than 18 years of age at the time of colectomy were excluded. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze baseline characteristics. Medians with interquartile range (IQR) were reported for continuous variables, and proportions were reported for categorical variables. Iron deficiency was defined by ferritin <30 ng/mL. Logistic regression was used to analyze unadjusted relationships between hypothesized risk factors and the outcome of iron deficiency. Results: A total of 143 patients had iron studies a median of 3.0 (IQR 1.7-5.6) years after final surgical stage, of whom 73 (51.0%) were men. The median age was 33.5 (IQR 22.7-44.3) years. Iron deficiency was diagnosed in 80 (55.9%) patients with a median hemoglobin of 12.4 g/dL (IQR 10.9-13.3), ferritin of 14 ng/mL (IQR 9.0-23.3), and iron value of 44 μg/dL (IQR 26.0-68.8). Of these, 29 (36.3%) had a pouchoscopy performed within 3 months of iron deficiency diagnosis. Pouchitis and cuffitis were separately noted in 4 (13.8%) and 13 (44.8%) patients, respectively, and concomitant pouchitis-cuffitis was noted in 9 (31.0%) patients. Age, sex, anastomosis type, pouch duration, and history of pouchitis and/or cuffitis were not associated with iron deficiency. Conclusion: Iron deficiency is common after RPC with IPAA in patients with UC. Cuffitis is seen in the majority of patients with iron deficiency; however, iron deficiency may occur even in the absence of inflammation.
