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

Background and Aims: Individuals who are incarcerated often have limited access to first-line treatment and comprehensive health care. In this study, we aimed to compare the frequency of readmissions among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) receiving care at a community hospital who were and were not incarcerated at the time of hospitalization. Methods: We analyzed records from Lemuel Shattuck Hospital for all patients admitted between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2019. Patients with IBD were identified using International Classification of Diseases codes. The primary outcome was all-cause readmission at 1 year following an IBD-related admission. Secondary outcomes were (1) all-cause readmission at 30 days, (2) IBD-related readmission at 30 days, and (3) IBD-related readmission at 1 year. Our indicator of interest was incarceration. Multivariable logistic regression models were built to describe predictors of all-cause readmissions at 1 year. Results: Among the 6511 individuals hospitalized at Lemuel Shattuck Hospital between 2011 and 2019, 90 individuals (1.4%) had International Classification of Diseases codes for IBD, either ulcerative colitis (n = 44) and/or Crohn's disease (n = 39). Half (n = 46) of patients with IBD were incarcerated during hospital admission. Individuals who were incarcerated had a higher rate of all-cause readmissions at 1 year than those who were not incarcerated at the time of hospitalization (76.0% vs 41.5%, Conclusion: Our results suggest individuals with IBD who are incarcerated may experience worse health outcomes than individuals who are not incarcerated, adding to a body of literature documenting the negative impact of incarceration on health.
