Irritable Bowel Syndrome-like Symptoms in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis in Remission as Compared to Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Symptom Severity and Inflammatory Markers.

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.
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/Aims: Patients with ulcerative colitis in remission (UC-R) may experience symptoms consistent with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This prospective study aims to examine the relative influence of peripheral factors, such as gut mucosal inflammation, and central factors, like psychological conditions, on the severity of IBS symptoms to evaluates (1) the IBS Symptom Severity Score (IBS-SSS), (2) levels of inflammatory markers, and (3) the presence of psychological comorbidities across 3 groups: UC patients with IBS symptoms (UC-IBS), UC-R patients without IBS, and individuals with usual IBS. Methods: Rome III and IV IBS criteria were used in UC-R patients (Mayo score 0), with symptom severity measured by IBS-SSS. Serum and fecal inflammation markers were compared across UC-R without IBS, UC-IBS, and IBS groups. Results: Among UC-R patients, 31.3% (26/83) met Rome III and 9.6% (8/83) met Rome IV IBS criteria. IBS-SSS scores were significantly lower in UC-IBS compared to IBS (n = 50; 167.5 [150-200] vs 255 [225-325]; Conclusions: One-third and one-tenth of UC-R patients met Rome III and IV IBS criteria, respectively. UC-IBS had lower IBS-SSS and higher fecal calprotectin than IBS. Psychological comorbidities were worse in IBS, least in UC-R without IBS, suggesting more peripheral inflammation and less central involvement in UC-IBS.
