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

Introduction: Ulcerative proctitis is a chronic disease, characterized by lower risk of complications and less aggressive treatment in comparison to other forms of ulcerative colitis. Therefore, the key issue is to predict the natural course of the disease and protect against proximal spread of inflammatory lesions in the future. Aim: To identify risk factors for progression of ulcerative proctitis and investigate the natural history of the disease. Material and methods: We performed a retrospective study and included patients with ulcerative proctitis, diagnosed between January 2010 and December 2020, who suffered from ulcerative proctitis for at least 1 year. The collected data were then subjected to statistical analysis. Results: We identified 116 cases of ulcerative proctitis in patients aged between 19 and 84 years. Proximal extension of the disease occurred in 65 (56%) people - left sided colitis developed in 55 (85%) and pancolitis in 10 (15%) patients. We detected many progression risk factors of ulcerative proctitis, among which the most meaningful were Mayo Endoscopic Score at levels 2 and 3 at onset ( Conclusions: According to our study, early identification of progression risk factors in ulcerative proctitis is crucial for the future outcomes of the disease. The proper treatment at onset is relevant in preventing the progression of inflammatory lesions and the development of disease complications.
