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

A 70-year-old man with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis undergoing nintedanib treatment for 2 years experienced worsening diarrhea, which prompted colonoscopy. An examination revealed a coarse mucosal appearance and erosion extending from the rectum to the ascending colon with linear mucosal defects in the sigmoid colon. Histopathological findings from the biopsies demonstrated features resembling those of collagenous colitis (CC). The diarrheal symptoms resolved rapidly after nintedanib withdrawal. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with nintedanib-associated, drug-induced colitis with CC-like features. Although linear mucosal defects linked to proton pump inhibitors, particularly lansoprazole, have been reported in CC, they have not been previously described in nintedanib-associated colitis.
