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

backgroundMonogenic inflammatory bowel disease (mIBD) in patients with onset after the age of 16 has been increasingly recognized, but these reports are sporadic and lack a systematic overview, leaving the clinical and genetic characteristics poorly understood. This study aimed to characterize these late-onset mIBD (LO-mIBD), using an infantile-onset population as a control.

methodsData were extracted from eligible case reports, case series, and cohorts published between January 1990 and October 2023. A comprehensive search of PubMed and Web of Science was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Demographic, genetic, phenotypic, and genotypic data were collected for the comparative analysis between LO-mIBD (> 16 years) and infantile-onset mIBD (IO-mIBD, < 2 years) cases that met the inclusion criteria.

resultsA total of 436 IO-mIBD and 110 LO-mIBD cases were included in the analysis. Patients with LO-mIBD had significantly lower rates of parental consanguinity and a higher frequency of heterozygous mutations in autosomal dominant genes compared with IO-mIBD cases. Meanwhile, patients with LO-mIBD more commonly presented with Crohn's disease (CD)-like gastrointestinal phenotypes. They exhibited markedly higher rates of intestinal ulcers, strictures, small intestinal involvement, and granulomatous pathology but fewer instances of villous atrophy, perianal disease, oral lesions, recurrent infections, and fever compared with IO-mIBD cases. The genes most commonly implicated in LO-mIBD were SLCO2A1, GUCY2C, CTLA4, CYBB, and SLC26A3. Defects affecting intestinal epithelial function and phagocytic activity were more prominent in LO-mIBD than in IO-mIBD.

conclusionsPatients with LO-mIBD exhibited diverse intestinal phenotypes dominated by CD-like disease, with gene defects predominantly involving epithelial and phagocytic functions. Genetic counseling, genotype-phenotype mapping, and functional validation of key pathways are critical for further improving the clinical management of patients with LO-mIBD.
