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

Crohn's disease (CD) causes gastrointestinal symptoms (i.e., diarrhea and abdominal pain), systemic symptoms (i.e., fatigue, anemia, weight loss, and fever), and perianal fistulas that produce anal pain. Because of the frequent occurrence of diarrhea and ulcers in the rectum, CD is often exacerbated by perianal abscesses and/or fistulas. Perianal fistulizing CD (PFCD) has an unknown etiology and recurring symptoms such as pain and discharge, which seriously affects the patient's quality of life (QOL). In the past, radical surgery was performed for PFCD, but due to the risk of anal sphincter impairment, conservative therapy using antibiotics and immunosuppressive medications is currently the first treatment option. PFCD management has greatly improved with the use of biologics such as the antitumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) antibodies infliximab and adalimumab. In this review, the results of the administration of anti-TNF-α (certolizumab pegol), anti-interleukin-12/23 (ustekinumab), and anti-α
