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: In 2023, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant caused a large-scale outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in China. It is not clear the risk factors that lead to the exacerbation of symptoms in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) after COVID-19 infection. Our study aims to find out the risk factors for the exacerbation of IBD-related symptoms in IBD patients with COVID-19 infection and to provide guidance for the clinical management of IBD. Methods: This is a retrospective, observational study. The online questionnaire was distributed to conduct a survey to collect demographic, clinical, and IBD related characteristics in IBD patients. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were conducted to assess the independent effects. Results: In total, 534 cases of IBD patients were analyzed in our study. Among them, 466 (87.3%) cases diagnosed with COVID-19, 160 (34.3%) cases experienced exacerbation of IBD symptoms, and 84 (18.0%) patients opted for medication discontinuation. Male sex (OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.34-3.49, Conclusion: This study confirms that the infection rate of COVID-19 in China IBD patients was comparable to the general population. Male sex, the decrease in BMI and medication discontinuation are significant risk factors for the exacerbation of IBD-related symptoms in IBD patients with COVID-19 infection.
