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

Chronic pouchitis affects 13% to 17% of patients with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis and ulcerative colitis, and 20% with a history of acute pouchitis. It is classified by antibiotic responsiveness into chronic antibiotic-dependent pouchitis and chronic antibioticrefractory pouchitis. Pathogenesis of chronic pouchitis can range from microbially mediated to more antibiotic-resistant and immune-mediated processes. A diagnostic index combining clinical, endoscopic, and histologic components is essential for clinical practice and research. In chronic antibiotic-dependent pouchitis, remission is managed with microbiota- or immune-targeted therapies. For chronic antibiotic-refractory pouchitis, immune-directed therapy is primary, with vedolizumab recommended for first-line treatment. Other advanced therapies rely on less definitive evidence, and efficacy may be reduced by precolectomy exposure. This article reviews the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of chronic pouchitis.
