Racial disparity in inflammatory bowel disease-related complications: a nationwide cohort study.
Article in Annals of gastroenterology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Racial disparities in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-related complications are increasingly recognized, yet nationwide data remain limited. This study examined racial differences in IBD-related complications across diverse patient populations. Methods: We analyzed data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample 2016-2021, on over 1.7 million weighted hospitalizations for IBD. Adults with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) were identified using ICD-10 codes. Key outcomes included anal abscess, intestinal obstruction, rectal bleeding and anal fissure/fistula, were compared across racial groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate the odds of complications, adjusting for age, sex, insurance, comorbidities, and hospital factors. Results: Compared to White patients, Black and Hispanic patients with CD had higher rates of anal abscesses (2.8% and 2.57% vs. 1.25%) and rectal bleeding (2.85% and 2.51% vs. 1.79%). Multivariate logistic regression showed that Black and Asian patients had higher odds of developing anal abscess compared to White patients (adjusted OR [aOR] 1.41, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.38-1.45] and aOR 1.19, 95%CI 1.13-1.29, respectively). In UC, Black (aOR 1.33, 95%CI 1.29-1.37), Hispanic (aOR 1.23, 95%CI 1.21-1.27), and Asian patients (aOR 1.12, 95%CI 1.04-1.20) had higher odds of rectal bleeding, while the odds of intestinal obstruction were lower in Black (aOR 0.74, 95%CI 0.67-0.82), compared to White patients. Conclusions: Racial disparities exist in complications associated with IBD. Black and Hispanic patients had higher odds of perianal complications, while White patients had more intestinal obstruction. These findings emphasize the need for earlier intervention and improved access to advanced therapies in diverse populations.
