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: In Japan, the confirmed diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD) is based on a single, historically established set of clinical criteria. However, for patients who present with a perianal lesion (PL), the diagnostic pattern actually applied is unclear. Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational multicenter study among patients who presented with a PL without synchronous abdominal symptoms and were subsequently diagnosed with confirmed or probable CD according to the Japanese diagnostic criteria from May 1996 to April 2024. In total, 100 patients with confirmed CD and 10 with probable CD were identified and enrolled. Results: Among the 100 patients with confirmed CD, 72% met the criterion for the category "confirmed 1: main finding Conclusion: In cases of suspected CD due to initial PLs, histological investigation of NCEG and precise total gastrointestinal inspection should be conducted to confirm the diagnosis.
