Early Onset Active Inflammatory Bowel Disease Is Associated With Psychiatric Comorbidities: A Multi-Network Propensity-Matched Cohort Study.
Article in Crohn's & colitis 360, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Psychiatric disease burden in patients with Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has risen substantially over the past few decades. However, there is limited data on the relationship between IBD disease activity and the incidence of psychiatric comorbidities. We sought to conduct a population-based study to investigate the impact of early onset disease activity in newly diagnosed IBD patients on psychiatric disease diagnoses and medication usage. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX database. We identified all adult patients diagnosed with IBD and documented IBD-specific medication use. We stratified these IBD patients into 2 cohorts based on IBD Disease Activity, occurring 6 months to 1 year after initial IBD diagnosis. Active IBD was defined as the utilization of steroids and/or elevated fecal calprotectin [≥200 µg/g] occurring 6 months to 1 year after initial IBD diagnosis. We examined the outcomes of psychiatric disease diagnoses and psychotropic medication prescriptions occurring 1 year after the initial diagnosis. Results: Out of 69 105 patients with an IBD diagnosis during the study period, after propensity score matching, 16 922 IBD patients each were included in the 2 cohorts based on disease activity. Patients with active IBD had significantly higher odds of developing major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, alcohol use disorder, opiate use disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Additionally, patients with active IBD also had significantly higher odds of using all studied psychotropic medications, including antidepressants, antipsychotic medications, anxiolytics, sedatives, hypnotic medications, mood stabilizers, stimulant medications, and medications used for substance use disorders (including alcohol, opioid, and tobacco use). Conclusions: Active IBD shortly after the IBD diagnosis is associated with a higher incidence of psychiatric comorbidities. Awareness of behavioral health in IBD is important, and proper treatment is necessary.
