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

backgroundA positive family history is considered the strongest recognizable risk factor for developing inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and is present in 8-12% of cases.

aimsTo determine the prevalence of familial IBD and also to compare the clinical characteristics and extraintestinal manifestations between familial and sporadic cases.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study based on retrospectively-prospectively collected data from a cohort of IBD patients followed in daily clinical practice. Patients with biopsy-confirmed familial and sporadic IBD aged 16-90 years old were included in the study. A comprehensive questionnaire was used to collect data on each site visit. Logistic regression analysis and chi-squared test were used.

resultsIn total, 265 patients with IBD were included. 12.1% had a first-degree relative with IBD present (16.4% in Crohn's disease and 5.7% in the ulcerative colitis group, P < 0.05). Familial IBD patients were mainly females, were more frequently diagnosed with Crohn's disease and had a higher risk for hospitalization due to an IBD flare (P < 0.05), to undergo a surgical procedure (P < 0.001), to require treatment with biologic agents (P < 0.05), to develop perianal disease (P < 0.05), and extraintestinal manifestations (P < 0.05), mainly spine joint complications, erythema nodosum, and anterior uveitis.

conclusionIn this study, a positive family history of IBD was present in 16.4% of Crohn's disease and 5.7% of ulcerative colitis patients and was associated with a greater risk for hospitalization, surgical procedures, occurrence of perianal disease, need for treatment with biologic agents, and development of extraintestinal manifestations.
