Network meta-analyses in IBD: pitfalls and promise for clinicians.
Review in Therapeutic advances in gastroenterology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Network meta-analysis (NMA) has seen an exponential rise in use over the past two decades, with publications in gastroenterology increasingly using this approach to inform guidelines, such as for colorectal cancer surveillance and inflammatory bowel disease management. However, alongside this growth comes a parallel risk: that methodological complexity and statistical misinterpretation may lead to misuse of the findings. As this paper outlines, NMAs can unintentionally mislead when clinical certainty is obscured by statistical hierarchy. To address these limitations, we present the promise of NMAs and a novel way of presenting NMA results, the GORDON Plot (Grade Of Results Diagram Of Network meta-analysis).
