The Relationship Between Nutritional Status, Micronutrient Deficiency, and Disease Activity in IBD Patients: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study.

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 AND
aimInflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic conditions that affect the gastrointestinal tract. The chronic inflammatory state promotes a catabolic environment that contributes to undernutrition, while mucosal damage often impairs nutrient absorption. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between nutritional status-including micronutrient deficiencies-and clinical as well as laboratoristics disease activity in a cohort of patients with IBD.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study conducted across three care centers in Italy. Baseline data, clinical disease activity, and laboratory test results were collected. Micronutrient evaluation included measurements of iron, ferritin, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and folate. In addition, hemoglobin and albumin levels were assessed. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to explore the relationship between disease activity and nutritional status. Additionally, receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis were performed to identify patients with active diseases.
results110 IBD patients (40 Crohn Disease; 70 Ulcerative Colitis) were included. The serum level of Hb, iron, ferritin and vitamin D was different among the active and inactive group (
conclusionsHemoglobin, iron, ferritin, and vitamin D were associated with disease activity status. However, despite this correlation, their accuracy in discriminating between active and inactive disease appeared to be suboptimal. Folic acid, vitamin B12, and albumin showed poor concordance with disease activity status.
