Causes of Colectomy in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis: Findings from an Iranian National Registry.
Article in Archives of Iranian medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundUlcerative colitis (UC) is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) marked by rectal and colon inflammation, leading to relapsing symptoms. Its prevalence is increasing, particularly in developed nations, impacting patients' health. While its exact cause remains unclear, genetic and environmental factors are implicated, elevating the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Colectomy, though declining, is still performed in select UC cases, necessitating further study.
methodsWe analyzed data from the Iranian Registry of Crohn's and Colitis (IRCC) to examine UC patients undergoing colectomy. We collected demographic and clinical data from 91 patients, focusing on dysplasia. Statistical analyses assessed dysplasia risk factors.
resultsPatients with dysplasia were older at diagnosis and surgery compared to those without dysplasia. Age emerged as a significant risk factor for dysplasia in UC patients undergoing colectomy. No significant associations were found between dysplasia and other factors.
conclusionAge plays a crucial role in dysplasia risk among UC patients undergoing colectomy. Older age at diagnosis and surgery may indicate a higher risk of dysplasia and CRC. Clinicians should consider age when managing UC patients and implementing screening protocols. Further research with larger samples is needed to confirm these findings.
