Clinical analysis and identification of pediatric patients with colonic ulceration.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
backgroundA wide variety of diseases mimic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aimed to reduce the misdiagnosis among children with colonic ulcers.
methodsEighty-six pediatric patients with colonic ulcers detected by colonoscopy were enrolled in the retrospective study. Children were divided into different groups according to the final diagnosis. The clinical characteristics, laboratory examinations, endoscopic findings, and histopathological results were compared.
resultsIBD (n = 37) was just responsible for 43% of patients with colonic ulceration. Other diagnosis included autoimmune diseases (n = 9), infectious enteritis (n = 13), gastrointestinal allergy (n = 8), and other diseases (n = 19). Comparing IBD and non-IBD groups, children with IBD had a higher frequency of symptoms like weight loss/failure to thrive (P < 0.001), perianal lesions (P = 0.001), and oral ulcers (P = 0.022), and higher expression levels of platelet (P = 0.006), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (P = 0.001), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (P < 0.001), C-reactive protein (P < 0.001), Immunoglobulin G (P = 0.012), Interleukin-1β (P = 0.003), Interleukin-6 (P = 0.024) and TNF-α (P = 0.026), and a wider ulcer distribution in the lower gastrointestinal tract (LGIT) (P < 0.001). Expression levels of hemoglobin (P < 0.001) and albumin (P = 0.001) were lower in IBD patients. Multivariate analysis showed hemoglobin, NLR, Score of ulceration in LGIT, and pseudopolyps contributing to the diagnosis of pediatric IBD with colonic ulcers.
conclusionsWe displayed potential indicators to help diagnose pediatric IBD differentiating from other disorders with colonic ulcers more prudently.
