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

The aetiology and pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are not completely understood; however, a dysregulated intestinal immune system appears key to its pathogenesis. It has been suggested that the appendix is central to nurturing the enteric mucosal system due to its production of lymphoid products and that an appendicectomy may have an immune modulating effect. The aim of this review is to explore the available evidence for the association between IBD and appendicectomy and attempt to define its impact on the incidence and risk of Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC) onset and progression.
