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: There is a paucity of knowledge on disease phenotype and outcome of very early-onset (VEO) inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) from recently developed and developing countries, including from Southeast Asia. We studied disease phenotype, clinical characteristics, management and outcome of VEO-IBD in South and Southeast Asian children. Materials and methods: We extracted data from a multicentre Asian pediatric (onset <18 years) IBD registry. VEO- and later-onset pediatric (LO-p) IBD were defined as onset of disease <6 years and ≥6 years, respectively. We excluded monogenic IBD. Results: Of 440 children with IBD cases; 112 (25.5%) were VEO-IBD; Crohn's disease (CD) 36 (32.1%); ulcerative colitis (UC) 68 (60.7%), and IBD-unspecified 7 (7.1%). UC was more common in VEO-IBD while CD more common in LO-pIBD (CD = 68.9% vs. UC = 25.9%; Conclusions: Despite differences in disease phenotype at diagnosis, disease behaviour, location/extent and disease severity were similar between VEO- and LO-IBD, with a comparable overall clinical remission rates between both age groups at 5 years after diagnosis.
