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

backgroundCrohn's disease (CD) negatively impacts quality of life, and a high percentage of patients will need surgery. Ileocecal resection (ICR) is the most common abdominal procedure performed in CD. Postoperative complications are frequent, and recurrence is common. The main objectives of this study were to analyze risk factors (RF) for anastomotic leakage (AL) and recurrence after ICR, as well as quality of life (QoL) in CD in a sample of the Spanish population.

methodsA prospective, multicenter, observational study was designed, including all types of hospitals in Spain from 2018 to 2021. Demographic and medical-surgical characteristics, postoperative complications, hospital types by annual ICR volume, and quality of life (IBDQ-9) up to 1 year follow-up (OYF) were recorded and analyzed.

resultsA total of 386 ICRs were recorded. At 60 days, there were 134 (36.4%) complications, 46 (11.91%) of which were major. A total of 23 (5.9%) AL were registered, and RF were Montreal A3 [OR 14.2, 95% CI (2.70-126), p = 0.005], Montreal p [OR 7.29, 95% CI (1.14-44.4), p = 0.029], and intensified adalimumab treatment [3.8, 95% CI (1.2-13.1), p = 0.026]. Recurrences at OYF were 67 (19%), and RF were history of neoplasia [OR 7.14, p = 0.01], Montreal B3 [OR 2.12, p = 0.02], and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) [OR 2.63, p = 0.02]. The mean difference in IBDQ-9 from baseline to 60 days was +1.72 (n = 177, p < 0.001) and to OYF +2.12 (n = 140, p < 0.001).

conclusionsThe AL rate was 5.9%. Montreal A3, perianal disease, and intensified adalimumab were associated with a higher rate of AL. The recurrence rate was 17.6% (OYF). Prior neoplasia, Montreal B3, and MIS were associated with higher risk of recurrence. ICR improves quality of life at 60 days and is maintained 1 year after surgery.
