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: Fecal calprotectin (fCal) and fecal myeloperoxidase (fMPO) have been proposed as biomarkers for monitoring inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); however, their reliability is not fully established. This study investigated clinical variables associated with the loss of accuracy of fecal biomarkers. Methods: Post hoc analyses were performed on previously reported data (New indicators of disease activity in IBD (NIDA-IBD) cohort), which examined fecal biomarkers in individuals with IBD undergoing colonoscopy. Positive and negative results were recorded using previously identified thresholds (fCal, 150 μg/g; fMPO, 8 μg/g). Univariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify clinical variables (patient demographics, disease location and duration, symptoms and medication use) associated with false-positive and false-negative results. Subgroup analyses (Mann-Whitney Results: One hundred and seventy individuals from the NIDA-IBD cohort were included for analyses (CD, Conclusions: No clinical variables were found to be associated with loss of biomarker accuracy, including fecal myeloperoxidase at widely used thresholds. Fecal biomarkers improved prediction of disease activity.
