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

backgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) was previously regarded as a Western disease; however, its incidence is increasing in the East. The epidemiology of IBD in Asia differs significantly from the patterns in the West.

aimTo comprehensively investigate the epidemiology of IBD in South Korea, including its incidence, prevalence, medication trends, and outcomes.

methodsWe analyzed claims data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service and Rare and Intractable Diseases (RIDs), operated by the National Health Insurance Service of South Korea. Patients with IBD were identified based on the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, and RID diagnostic codes for Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) from 2010 to 2018.

resultsIn total, 14498 and 31409 patients were newly diagnosed with CD and UC, respectively, between 2010 and 2018. The annual average incidence of CD was 3.11 cases per 10

conclusionThe CD incidence has been stable since 2014, but that of UC has increased with a shift to a younger age at peak incidence between 2010 and 2018. IBD clinical outcomes improved over time, with increased use of immunomodulators and biologics.
