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.

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to systematically review the global epidemiology of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Background: IBD is a global concern, and its incidence is rising worldwide. Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science from 1 January 2000 to 14 July 2022 using MeSH keywords. All population-based studies that reported the incidence or prevalence of IBD, Crohn's disease (CD), or ulcerative colitis (UC) were included. Random effect models were applied to combine the prevalence and incidence. Results: Findings from 215 studies were analyzed. The global prevalence rates of IBD, CD, and UC were 229.7 per 100,000 (95% confidence interval: 212.4 to 247.0), 84.2 (78.5 to 89.9), and 120.4 (110.5 to 130.3), and the incidence was 9.7 per 100,000 person-years (9.2 to 10.2), 4.0 (3.8 to 4.2), and 5.0 (4.6 to 5.3), respectively. The highest IBD and CD incidence were seen in Oceania (21.3 [12.9 to 29.7] and 12.2 [8.5 to 15.9], respectively), while the highest incidence of UC was reported in North America (9.8 [6.7 to 12.8]). According to the pooled prevalence, Europe had the highest prevalence rates of IBD and UC (348.4 [315.2 to 381.5] and 198.6 [181.6 to 215.6], respectively), whereas Oceania was the continent with the highest CD prevalence (173.6 [151.8 to 195.4]). Conclusion: Our findings showed that the incidence and prevalence of IBD in both developed and developing nations are mounting. Special focus should be placed on understanding and managing pediatric CD cases, necessitating targeted research and early interventions.
