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 purposeInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, non-specific inflammatory bowel disease caused by multiple causes. Lymphocytes migration is involved in the pathogenesis of IBD. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether there were differences in blood lymphocytes levels between IBD patients in clinical remission and healthy people. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 94 Crohn's disease (CD) and 20 ulcerative colitis (UC) patients were included in this study. Ninety-four people who underwent physical examination in our hospital were randomly selected as controls. We analyzed whether there were differences in white blood cell count, neutrophil count, neutrophil percentage, lymphocyte count, lymphocyte percentage between CD patients, UC patients, and healthy people.

resultsThere were significant differences in lymphocyte count (P < 0.001), lymphocyte percentage (P < 0.001), neutrophil count (P = 0.038), and neutrophil percentage (P < 0.001) between CD patients and normal people, but no statistically significant differences in sex (P = 0.216), age (P = 0.745), and white blood cell count (P = 0.757). UC patients had significant differences in white blood cell count (P = 0.005), lymphocyte count (P = 0.010), and neutrophil count (P = 0.023), but no difference in lymphocyte percentage (P = 0.968) and neutrophil percentage (P = 0.461).

conclusionsThe white blood cell count of CD patients was not significantly different from that of normal people, but the lymphocyte count and lymphocyte percentage were significantly different from that of healthy people. Similar results were not found in UC patients.
