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: The clinical aspects of Crohn's disease (CD) at diagnosis determine its therapy and management. The onset of CD follows a seasonal pattern. We aimed to analyze changes in the clinical features and seasonal variations of newly CD patients over the last decade. Methods: CD patients were divided into cohort 1 (2012-2016) and cohort 2 (2017-2021). The clinical characteristics were collected and the trends according to the year and season of diagnosis were analyzed. Results: A total of 2038 patients were included. Cohort 1 had a considerably greater proportion of diarrhea, fever, hematochezia, weight loss and extraintestinal manifestations. The levels of platelet and C-reactive protein were higher in cohort 2 patients, but the opposite was true for albumin levels ( Conclusion: The clinical phenotype, laboratory and pathological characteristics of CD has changed over time in China. The diagnosis of CD tends to have a seasonal trend with the highest incidence in summer. CD patients diagnosed in winter appear to have a milder form of the disease.
