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: Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease predominantly seen in young people. However, owing to its bimodal age distribution, it reaches its second peak between the ages of 50-70. The treatment of elderly Crohn's disease patients (described as over 60 years of age) remains controversial. Very few studies have described the treatment of elderly patients in our country. Case Report: We present the management of the oldest patient ever identified with Crohn's disease in our country. In light of recent evidence, the optimal agent for treating fragile patients and those with a history of infections is vedolizumab. However, vedolizumab is not reimbursed as a primary treatment in our country. Therefore, we treated the patient with corticosteroids and azathioprine. Conclusion: We have determined that the use of corticosteroids for induction of remission and azathioprine for maintenance of remission is safe, on a case-by-case basis, within the framework of conditions in our country.
