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
Introduction: The data on the relationship between inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and the course of COVID-19 from East-Central Europe are scarce. Aim: To assess the frequency of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in IBD patients and the impact of IBD on the COVID-19 course from the perspective of a Polish tertiary centre. Material and methods: Data on SARS-CoV-2 infection were retrospectively collected among IBD patients hospitalized in a Polish tertiary centre from March 2020 to May 2021. A questionnaire was used assessing the IBD characteristics, other comorbidities, and the course of COVID-19. Results: Among 350 patients, SARS-CoV-2 infection was diagnosed in 32 (9%). Severe COVID-19, defined as the need for hospitalization, was reported in 6 (19%) and mild in 26 (81%) cases. Compared to the mild COVID-19 course, patients with a severe course more often showed a higher IBD activity (3 points [IQR 2.25-3] vs. 1 point [IQR 0-2] in a semi-quantitative scale, Conclusions: IBD is not a risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Steroids and higher IBD clinical activity may increase the risk of severe COVID-19. The prognosis for COVID-19 in our cohort was good. SARS-CoV-2 infection was a common cause of gastrointestinal symptoms.
