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

Background: Diagnostic delay (DD) is a common finding in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The reasons and effects of this delay are frequently underestimated, particularly in the context of sex. Our aims were to examine the impact of delayed diagnosis in IBD, with a particular focus on sex disparities. Methods: We performed a single-center, cross-sectional study at a tertiary referral center, including patients with IBD. The data was collected between August 2020 and June 2024. Results: A total of 247 individuals with IBD were included in this study, with 53% identifying as female and 51% having Crohn's disease. Probability estimators revealed an effect of a DD on the cumulative advanced drug therapy probability in women (p Conclusions: A delayed diagnosis has a significant impact on IBD treatment trajectories, with a notable sex-related effect observed especially in women. Therapeutic needs in female patients with IBD seem underestimated, particularly in instances where a DD is present.
